Drought? What Drought?

A month and a half ago everything was brown and crispy it was so dry. Over the past month or so we've gotten quite a few heavy rains and everything is quite green again, like spring. Then early this morning we got another eight (!) inches of rain. McAlister Park is closed, and several roads were impassable. It doesn't appear any houses were damaged or anything because they seem to have a good system of ducting the water.
The flood gage in this picture goes up to five feet, when we tried to come by late this afternoon it was at 2 feet.
Another flooded road, but look how green everything is!
