In September 2013 - one year ago this month - my hometown of Lyons, Colorado, endured epic flooding. September is usually a dry and stable weather month in Colorado, but extraordinary meteorological conditions set up to produce what the National Weather Service described as "biblical rainfall" in the mountainous area west of Lyons. The stalled storm and steep topography provided a particularly violent combination, producing widespread property damage and taking a number of lives along Colorado's Front Range.
To understand the factors that contributed to this event, we've created a kickstarter.com project to produce a video that will illustrate the unusual conditions that generated the flooding. Here's our kickstarter video:
