The 2013 Colorado floods, which occurred 10 years ago, resulted in the loss of nine lives and caused $4 billion in damages. The heavy rain caused streams and rivers to overflow, destroying bridges, roads, and thousands of homes and businesses. The National Guard assisted in rescuing thousands of people who were stranded.
