0:58 Two storms hit the San Juan Mountains
2:27 River records and near-record flows
4:16 The 1911 flood benchmark
5:34 Flood damage and evacuations
8:26 Lake Powell’s rapid rise
10:54 More water moving downstream
14:20 Why Lake Powell is still far from full
I break down the second historic flood moving through the San Juan Mountains and toward Lake Powell, including the record and near-record river flows at Pagosa Springs, on the Piedra, the Mancos and the Animas.
I explain how two major storms produced the flooding, what happened downstream in Colorado, New Mexico and Utah, and how the damage and evacuations affected communities along the rivers.
I also examine Lake Powell’s rapid rise, the water still moving through the San Juan and Colorado rivers, the role of Navajo Reservoir, and why the lake remains far below full despite its recent gains.
