It's raining too hard to get out and take pictures, but here's a front porch view of the ephemeral stream flowing out of our hollow. Water only flows in this streambed 2 or 3 times a year, but it's been flowing hard and fast since before dawn today. It's hard to see, but stream flows across the neighbor's driveway on the left of the panorama shot below. Earlier today the stream was also flowing over the lower part of our driveway. Buffalo Creek has been up to the bridge for several hours now. It wouldn't take much more water for us to be trapped on our hillside. I'm glad we live exactly where we do, protected from storms by the surrounding hills (western ridge behind us), and high enough on a hillside to be well away from floodwaters.
