<br />PAST FLOODS <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />Newspaper files and historical records were searched for <br />flood history in Walsenburg and nothing was found to indicate that <br />any serious flooding had occurred in the past. Local citizens <br />report that flooding did occur on August 6, 1936 when a railroad <br />bridge collapsed and, along with trees and other debris, plugged <br />the river channel, causing substantial damage to Walsenburg and <br />the immediate vicinity. The storm that caused this flooding also <br />caused serious flooding along the Huerfano River that runs a few <br />miles north of Walsenburg. <br /> <br />r <br /> <br />er, <br /> <br />ere <br />el- <br /> <br />or <br />sed <br />ross <br />lood <br />not <br /> <br />r <br /> <br />,er <br />a- <br />d, <br /> <br />ist <br /> <br />,g <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />
