Thanks MML but we were always safe. We are on a slight hill that puts us at about 2 feet above the homes across the street. During the time I lived here when I was a kid from 10 to about 18, I saw the same thing about 6 times during the winter months. Check out some of the pictures and videos from our local tv station. A restaurant went into a local creek and they have the video.
