What's the weather like with you today?

We're not in a flood plain or at risk, so it's not mandatory for us. It's a man-made creek, so it's just where the storm water flows from the street and gutters of nearby houses, and then it eventually ends up in a real creek that isn't near our house.  We had a 10-year flood event last year, and it was a doozy, but it still didn't reach our house at least.
