Thanks for responding so quickly, LA. I guess SOME residents still have internet svcs, lol.
Yes, CO has always planned for the “100-yr floodplain.” They have made many improvements in the rivers going through cities in recent decades but there is always that chance of flooding, due to snow runoff from the mtns, which drains all summer and into the fall, mixed with new rain. My mother’s house, a few miles west of dtn Denver, was just over 100 yds from a rushing river which had been dredged and rehabbed with islands over the years since we sold it about 18 yrs ago. The four houses closest to the river on her street flooded in 1976 but are still standing today (there were no basements allowed on that block back in the early ’50’s, when it was built).
I recall Stapleton (Airport) being situated on a slightly higher plateau. Sorry, but I didn’t review our old pms and thought your ‘hood was on the site of old Fitzsimmons Army Hospital.
I saw Alameda and Havana flooded in a video, which is pretty close in and wondered about the surrounding areas.
