Boulder County, Colo. - A Damage Assessment Team was once again escorted by the Incident Management Team to survey damage identified by ground crews.
The land survey resulted in identifying two additional homes that are destroyed. One of the homes also had an outbuilding that was also destroyed (for a total of 3 destroyed structures).

These destroyed structures are in addition to the three already identified on July 10:
- 171 Bonanza Drive
- 37 N. Sky View Drive
