Remembering the 2013 Colorado floods: A decade of recovery and resilience
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Denver 7 Colorado News
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. The town of Lyons was particularly hard hit, and rebuilding efforts are still ongoing. Several events are being held to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the floods.
