As the creeks were rising, I watched carefully. If the creek I live close to floods over into the street,it would be no big deal, but my sister lives close to the river. My mom lives there too. I didn't want to the river to get to flood-stage. It was at 22 feet last night. Where I am, flood level is at 28 feet.
In 1996 it flooded at 37 feet which wasn't catastrophic but the water would have covered the ground at least knee high in some places. I am glad the waters are receding.. or halting.
