<br />September 2, 1990 <br /> <br />December 28, 1990 <br /> <br />Black Tiger Gulch near Nederland <br /> <br />Approximately 2.5 to 3.0 inches of rain fell in a two hour <br />period causing Black Tiger Gulch, a tributary of Boulder <br />Creek, to flood for the second time this season. The flood <br />carried trees, brush and rocks into the roadway blocking <br />traffic for three hours. Three inches of muddy water <br />covered the Highway 119 for 60 to 70 feet. <br /> <br />Source: <br /> <br />David M. Day, Department of Highways Flood <br />Structure Summary <br /> <br />Roaring Fork River at Basalt <br /> <br />An ice jam gave way in Snowmass Canyon above the town <br />of Basalt. The 4 foot high ice surge flowed through town <br />in approximately 10 to 15 minutes hitting town between 3- <br />3:30 p.m. There was no serious property damage reported; <br />however, the ice surge cleared the river of snags and logs. <br />The town manager compared the flood level to that of 1984. <br /> <br />Source: <br /> <br />Denver Post, 12/29/90 <br /> <br />6 <br />
