Biggest flood of 2013
How do I measure the "size"
of an event like one of our creek floodings?
I'd say it's a mixture of how
long it takes the water to drop to a safe hip wader depth and the
duration of the rain fall.

Choice of transportation
Looks like you're somewhere between driving through and paddling through this temporary lake! Perhaps a sturdy inflatable raft would get you out to your parking area on days like these when ya just gotta go to the store.

everyday life
In Iowa we go from floods to droughts back to floods again. It seems we never have just a regular season around here. I'd rather have the flooding compared to a drought though. Lack of water is good for absolutely nothing.
