The rain has been replaced by clear, sunny skies, but the aftermath of the torrential downpours over the last few weeks remains. Feeder creek levels are down but evidence of abnormally high water flow is everywhere. Grassland near creeks was flattened by the water and silt and new channels cut by the fast-moving water are still just drying up. A section of drainage ditch on Boultbee Road could not keep up to the volume and water flowed across the road, carved a ditch in a residential driveway and did some minor flood damage to the residence. A highways crew has since graded the road and blocked the path of future overflow water with a temporary dam along the lowest section of road. A more permanent solution is in the planning stage. The lake level has likely peaked, but at a height never seen before by most of the residents. Low level grass and marsh areas are flooded but structures seem to be out of harm’s way. The biggest threat now would be heavy winds that could create waves the might erode the upper levels of shoreline, not normally affected by water. Boaters must still be cautious as there is an increasing amount of debris dislodged from the shore and floating around the lake.
