Flood!


This is the creek that runs behind Northview High School which is just down the street from my school.  I had been up at school tutoring and preparing next week's lesson plans (spring break? what spring break?) and stopped to get this picture on the way home today.  Normally the creek is much, much narrower and there are actually banks!  It's hard to see just how fast the water was moving, but it was frighteningly fast!  I knew we got a lot of rain yesterday, but this is an insane amount of water.  On the plus side, the grass is really green!

  1. Holy cow! Weird, but I saw some flooded ponds today too. It didn't seem like we had that much rain, so I was a little surprised. Your particular stream looks like it's moving pretty fast!

  2. Wow! That is crazy. We have a small creek in the back of our property, that runs along the golf course, a couple times this year it has flooded the greens. It's amazing, you never realize just how much rain has come down until you see such a small creek flooded! Great shot!
