Presentation: Not in Our Lifetime – The Boulder County Flood of 2013
David Hollingsworth – Former Floodplain Manager, City of Longmont
The 2013 Boulder County Flood is one of the largest floods in the history of Colorado with over 17 inches of rain in 4 days. The City of Longmont was located at the center of this flood. Longmont had 5 creeks at or above flood stage. The City spent 20 years constructing channel improvements including 3 large projects in the 3 years prior to the flood. These 3 projects saved over $60 million of potential damages. This presentation documents these projects and how they affected the extent of the flooding with photos and overhead videos. It also shows the power and unconventional nature of water as it determines its own path during the storm and the work to put the stormwater back into the channel to end the flood. Flood videos and photos will be included.
Appetizers provided.
