Kathy Tompkins: Flood conditions overwhelm state oil-and-gas regulators. The Colorado Independent: "One of the many tragedies of the floods is that even though the deluge came during national preparedness month, Colorado’s multibillion dollar oil-and-gas industry seemed as caught off guard as homeowners who saw idyllic neighborhood creeks transform into rushing rivers. Despite advanced technology, few seemed to have anticipated anything like the storm. With flood gauges clocking the South Platte River as high as 18 feet, and the unprecedented 17.17 inches of rain that fell over six days in Boulder, citizens already wary of fracking were alarmed to see fast-moving flood water tearing into and toppling the fracking tanks." coloradoindependent/143996/flood-conditions-overwhelm-state-oil-and-gas-regulators
