A drainage ditch just <br />south of Frederick became clogged. The overflow from the <br />rain put three 30 foot wide holes in the ditch embankment. <br />This caused the town to be flooded by approximately 2 feet <br />of water. Fifteen residents were evacuated from the local <br />mobile home park and emergency procedures were <br />undertaken. One home was reported as having 6,000 <br />gallons of water in the basement. <br /> <br />Source: <br /> <br />Denver Post, 08/18/90 <br /> <br />Unnamed Tributary to Clear Creek (Mudslide) <br /> <br />A mudslide occurred in an unnamed tributary to Clear <br />Creek on the west side of the valley at Georgetown. About <br />4 inches of rain fell in 2.5 hours. <br /> <br />Source: <br /> <br />Mark Sawyer, Clear Creek County <br /> <br />5 <br />
