The efforts to restore utilities is moving faster than expected. 1000 residents may be able to come back this weekend! The town is still closed to the public but there are incredible efforts to support Lyons.

There are amazing people who are helping with the clean up efforts, coming from all over the country! If you would like to support those efforts and the people of Lyons here is a link to the Lyons community foundation

There is not a day that goes by that I do not think about Lyons.

Several friends live in Lyons and the recovery is moving along, but everything takes time. Once friend parked a camper on their property and plan to stay through the winter with their 2 small children. They will put hay bails around the base as insulation and have a generator and cistern. They believe the heating system will be sufficient, but that is yet to be seen. As soon as basic utilities and clean water/sewer can be restored, most will be able to move back in, but again, it's just a matter of time...
