| July 2018 | Flash Flood | Rockwood | $2,000,000 | Major flooding, mud and rockslides occurred in the Animas Valley along the Colorado Highway 550 corridor between mile markers 33 and 37. Fast moving flood waters and debris flowed in excess of 6 feet deep in places. About 6 feet of debris blocked Highway 550. The highway was closed for approximately 4.5 hours for debris cleanup. The flood waters and debris also flowed across the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad tracks which lead the train to stop and, as a result of the closure of the highway, about 800 passengers were stranded north of Durango. A section of the railroad track was heavily damaged. Significant damage occurred in the Whispering Pines and Pine Acres subdivisions where flash flood waters flowed. The flash flood waters and debris also traveled across a section of County Road 250 and caused widespread damage at the Durango North/Riverside KOA campground. Radar estimated half an inch to an inch of rain fell within a short period of time in the general area of the flash flooding. |
| September 2002 | Flash Flood | Durango | $1,500,000 | no account filed |
| October 2006 | Flash Flood | Durango | $1,000,000 | A persistent fetch of subtropical moisture brought heavy rainfall to La Plata County in southwest Colorado for two consecutive days, October 5th and 6th. The two-day rainfall amounts in the areas of heaviest flooding ranged from 1.99 to 3.51 inches. The first reports of flooding and flash flooding came from the La Plata County Sheriff's office at 1530 MST on Friday October 6th, when flooding had occurred along County Road 250 north of Durango and also near Vallecito Reservoir. In the community of North Vallecito, a 44 foot self contained RV, a cabin, and a shed were carried by the flood waters down Vallecito Creek and totally destroyed, with pieces ending up in Vallecito Reservoir. Part of a garage and two snowmobiles were swept away by flood waters and an unattended SUV was swept into the current but later pulled to high ground. Vallecito Creek carved out a new 4 to 5 foot channel in North Vallecito in the back yards of residences, with the new channel adjacent to the back decks of some homes. An enormous amount of landscape was destroyed in Vallecito and North Vallecito. Dikes and levees built in 1970 around Vallecito Creek were initially breeched at several points around 2215 MST on 10-6-06 and were subsequently destroyed. Flood waters came up to the foundation of houses, and left at least 18 houses surrounded by water. Law enforcement and other emergency service providers evacuated residents of Vallecito and North Vallecito, mostly prior to the dike and levee failures. An underground telephone cable in North Vallecito became exposed and severed by logs in the flood waters, eliminating phone service to homes and businesses around Vallecito Reservoir. Flooding also occurred along Bolteus Creek. Roads were flooded at various locations in La Plata County with fast moving water generally 6 to 18 inches deep. Several landslides were also reported, some of which closed down the Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad due to debris on the tracks. |

| July 2021 | Flash Flood | (Dro)Durango/Laplata | $500,000 | Heavy rain washed out a culvert on La Plata County Road 309A near Durango-La Plata County Airport. The road was closed for several days for repair work. The Durango Airport received 1.34 inches of rain with storms that day. |

| July 2021 | Flash Flood | (Dro)Durango/Laplata | $250,000 | Heavy rains washed out much of Shooter Lane near La Plata County Road 307 and also knocked down trees and fences along the road. The trees were 16 inches in diameter. Residents could hear Salt Creek roaring and estimated that the water was 10 feet deep compared to the normal 1 foot depth. Cattle got out as a result of the downed fences. |
| July 2018 | Flash Flood | Rockwood | $200,000 | Heavy rainfall resulted in flash flooding and mudslides over the eastern portion of the 416 fire burn scar. Radar indicated rainfall rates of up to an inch within 15 minutes from the storms. The intense rainfall only lasted 10 to 20 minutes before flash flooding and debris flows started on the east side of the fire. Rain gauges in the area measured 0.30 to 0.75 of an inch of rain. Mud, rocks and other debris flowed over five sections of Colorado Highway 550 and over one section of County Road 250, which resulted in temporary road closures. Three houses in a nearby subdivision were hit and damaged by a debris flow. The KOA campground along the Animas River was completely inundated. 140 to 200 people were evacuated. Numerous structures at the campground, including trailers, cabins, the clubhouse, laundry house and pool facilities incurred damage from the debris flow. The train tracks for the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad were covered by debris in about five places and the train had to stop above the first debris flow area on it's return trip to Durango. As a result, 450 people had to be evacuated by bus back to Durango. After this occurred, the bus slid off the road because of the mud and the people on the bus had to be evacuated for a second time. |

| June 2022 | Flash Flood | Bayfield | $25,000 | Five homes were flooded with water, mud and debris after 2 to 3 inches of rain overwhelmed the culvert system.

The neighboring portion of Colorado Highway 160 had some road debris as a result of the heavy rain. |
