Yes, more water flows into that intersection than the drain can handle.

So, if there were some major rain/flooding event you'd be stuck there?

One side of I-45 was shut down, neighbor described it as a parking lot, the other side was moving, but the feeder road was a lake, according to her at 1am when she had to go after her daughter. This was just north of town. I watched the radar along that time and that area was hit far worse than we were. One neighbor up the street from me said he had 8”

I just went out to water the pups and everything looked pretty well saturated. Unlike yourself, my roof did get washed clean.

I suspected the creek would be up by past observations, and it may have gotten even higher after I was there. This entire subdivision drains into it, in one place or another. It never rained hard, just for a long time. It must have rained 8hrs. That is why I did not see any damage.

I’ve never seen it high enough to stop a car going through there, but I guess it’s possible - instead of turning right to go to that intersection from my house, I’d turn left and go that way to get out, no problem.
