1928 town of Starbuck next to Bear Canyon in Colorado. A 1933 flood washed it away

The Bear Creek Canyon flood on July 7, 1933 was a two-mile-long cloudburst that deluged three gulches along Bear Creek, reportedly arriving in the town of Starbuck (now Idledale) in a gush 20 feet high before rushing on through Morrison.

At the time of the flood, it boasted a garage, two grocery stores, two dance halls, two cafes, a popcorn stand and a post office (which was also the barbershop, but more about that later), which were all wiped out by the rushing water.
