I generally agree with your post and others about building in a flood plain...or flood prone area?.....why be surprised? But I think Colorado is different- drove thru there a year ago, including Boulder, wonderful first visit to the State. But it"s all mountains in that area! Valleys....that can"t handle 15 inches of rain in a short time, yet people need to live there.
We farm in flat to gently rolling land- had a 15 inch rain on June 19, 1983. Nearest river is 7 miles away. Wiped out roads, bridges, ripped topsoil and sent basketball size rocks into the ditches!....but nothing like Colo is facing now. In the 70s, friend had same rainfall 70 miles North in MN, 20 year old house foundation caved in. Rocks don"t absorb moisture like farmland....where can the water go? Boulder is not like NO- built freaking BELOW sea level! That was dumb!
