Creek at River Stage

Last week, the rains came down, and the water got high. The 15 foot incised bank on the neighbors property was just deep enough to hold the water, as seen from the photograph. Notice the large house sitting in the flood plain - this was about an hour before crest - it didn't quite make it there, but i'd bet they were nervous. The ground saturated and we had standing water in the basement for the holiday weekend. This is only the third time in 12 years that we could see the water in the creek from our house. which is a very very very fine house. with two cats in the yard. life used to be so hard, now everything is easy cause of you ... oops - got singing CSNY.
