So, now I'm thinking that buying our property might not have been such a good idea. For the second time this year the creek has overrun its bed and flooded the lower parts of our yard. Granted this has been quite an unusual year for rainfall, and the creek flooding is only mountain run-off... Still, today's flood cut off our main road leading out from where we live, and two other side-routes. I ended up driving an hour out of the way to get to work. Needless to say, I was a bit late...
Fortunately again, the water never reached our fence, the additional ten foot incline from the top of the creek banks was unable to be surmounted by the enormous amount of run-off. The good news is that both times this happened, the creek subsided within a matter of hours, the bad news is that it happened twice. Once is a freak of nature, twice is the beginning of a trend....
