Monsoon Season Brings Heavy Rain and Flooding to Golden?
9/5/2023 (Permalink)
Colorado’s monsoon season runs through July, August, and September each year which causes some hail, heavy rain, flash flooding, and lots of cloud-to-ground lightning strikes. Our local Golden, Wheat Ridge and Evergreen teams are on call and ready to respond to flooding emergencies 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Flash flooding safety is critical during the monsoon season. Here are some flash flooding safety tips from the National Weather Service:
- During periods of heavy rains, stay away from flood-prone areas such as stream beds, drainage ditches, and culverts
- Move to higher ground if flooding threatens your area
- If you live or work in flood-prone areas, remain alert during periods of heavy rain
- Be especially cautious at night as it is harder to recognize flood dangers
- Never drive your car into water of an unknown depth. Most flash flood deaths occur when people drive their vehicles into flood waters. Remember: Turn Around Don’t Drown!
- If your vehicle stalls, abandon it immediately and seek higher ground. Flood water may rise quickly, cover the vehicle, and sweep it away.
- Stay out of flooded areas. The water may still be rising and very swift. A rapidly flowing stream can sweep you off your feet and sweep your vehicle downstream.
