Research Shows 2013 Floods in Boulder County Are More Common Than Previously Thought

News Link
I posted many times right after the flood that a review of historical floods in that area showed it was in the range of a 50 to 100 year flood when the media kept screaming it was a 1 in 500 or 1 in 1,000 year event. The good news is that this research will allow the 100 year flood plain limits to be expanded, requiring flood insurance for homes within the flood plain. As I posted at that time, part of the problem was that Boulder and Larimer Counties counties have allowed extensive high density residential development over the past 50 years within the true 100 year flood plain.
