The river is rising, head for the hills.

Ok, it's true, I'm on the 10th floor so I'm probably safe but it has been interesting to watch the river that runs by my place over the last few days.  For several weeks I've noticed that the water level is down and mud banks have been visible on both sides of the river.  Yesterday I looked and the water was back up on both banks to the grass level and today it's up swirling around the roots of the trees along the bank, covering at least 4 or 5 feet more of the bank than I've seen all summer.  There's also a lot of branches and other debris floating down the river.  I know they were predicting possible flash floods and lots of rain over the last few and coming days but I didn't expect such a drastic change. It will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings.
