The drainage ditch/floodway on the north side of our neighborhood was fuller than I've ever seen it. Big Dry Creek was also more swollen than I've ever seen it, and with lots of debris (mostly sticks/branches) in the floodwaters, and there was also a tree hung up on the walk bridge over the creek. Several neighbors have water in their basements (thankfully ours is dry, though). The Flash Flood Warning was entirely justified!
