Still Not Sure What To Think About The Colorado Rains

People are aghast how much rain fell in Colorado. Some are prone to use the event as a demonstration why global climate change is here.

Nevertheless, the weather pattern that contributed most to the rains (large summertime trough to the west, with a secondary, nearly-cutoff low to the southwest) doesn't strike me as THAT unusual. I'm wondering if we just haven't seen the full range of possible weather outcomes in our brief sojourn as a civilization in the West.
