Flooding

The federal government’s track record in the region hasn’t been great. Colorado's delegates say they are making sure the state's FEMA request is a priority.

Record rainfall in the U.S. Southwest is providing rare relief to the region's depleted reservoirs. Storms in October and November sent torrents of water through normally dry creeks and into reservoirs and rivers.

A second round of heavy rain in less than two weeks forced evacuations, flooded streets and closed roads. Now, neighbors are stepping up to help one another.

On Saturday, Colorado asked the Trump administration for a major disaster declaration and FEMA public assistance. Last year, the administration denied Colorado a similar request. Will the President heed Colorado's pleas this time?

Meteorologists say drought relief may only be temporary in the Southwest.

Academics and officials are observing 50 years since a massive flash flood tore through Big Thompson Canyon between Estes Park and Loveland. A July 31, 1976, storm dumped over a foot of rain on the area, killing 144 people.

Water swept through the canyon between Estes Park and Loveland in one of the deadliest disasters in Colorado history. We look back at the disaster and its aftermath.

Soil that's been burned in a wildfire often can't absorb substantial rainfall, sending water, mud and fallen trees downstream.

Storms across the Western U.S. are dumping more rain in shorter bursts than in decades past. But according to new research, that doesn’t necessarily mean landscapes are holding onto more water.
