Boulder, Colo., Flooding East of 63rd Street
Numerous rivers flooded during a significant September 2013 rain event along Colorado's Front Range, damaging or destroying several USGS streamgages. In response, USGS field crews measured flood flows, made gage repairs, and assessed sites to replace those gages destroyed.
