Flooding

We had a lot of snow the week before the thaw, and then a very sudden spike in temperatures on June 9 and 10.  This caused more dramatic runoff than usual, and led to some flooding and some roads being washed out.

At least this dog has a boat!

It was around 4 feet deep in places, and at least 6 feet across:

Here's a creek that formed from the co-op parking lot.  It had several channels, and was around 2 feet deep in places:
