The main drainage for 326 square miles of the Rocky Mountains, Boulder Creek runs through the heart of Boulder, Colorado before feeding into the South Platte River. So tranquil and relaxing, right? Sure, unless a 100-year flood happens to blast it's way through. This photo of the last one in 1894 was taken two blocks east from where the photo here was taken. Hmm, 1894? Isn't that 112 years since the last 100-year flood? Why, yes. It is. Boulderites might want to have their umbrellas and waders handy.
