Flooding

Our little Fletcher branch of Hickory Creek can really move some water, when the need arises. However, it is surprisingly low most of the time. We have seen several occasions where the water came so high as to actually close the road out of our neighborhood and yet normally you can walk down 10-15 feet from the road to do some fishing. I have taken pictures of flooding and finally remembered to go back and photograph the same area during "non flooding" times. The fist picture was taken on October 13th of this year, the day after the road opened back up following a flood. The next picture was taken now,  look in the center of this top picture, you will see the very tops of the concrete posts and pipeline that run across the creek. Then notice the water level in the new picture. Obviously the trees show the difference that fall heading into winter has made on the area but hopefully I captured a bit of the depth of the water in comparison. Timely as it's started to rain again here this afternoon...
