High water after thunderstorms

There’s a small creek that runs behind Winfield Village. It feeds the ponds in the Lake Park subdivision, and then the water flows on to the Embarras River.

It usually has only three or four inches of water in it, but after heavy rain it swells quite a bit.

This gives you some idea how swollen the creek is.

Less impressive to you than to me, because you don’t know that there’s a weir across the creek which is completely hidden by the high water.
