no flash floods

Looking downstream on the Eleven Point

 Two rivers run under the bridge next to the Goose, the Eleven Point and the Middle Fork. They meet just downstream. After four inches of rain in torrential storms yesterday, I'm amazed that, unlike some people nearby, I have power, but more amazed that the rivers stayed pretty much within their banks. It makes those of us who still live in Thomasville—and there aren't that  many—nervous to have a flash flood warning. But today is beautiful, and the rivers, while murky, are nowhere near flooding.

To refresh your memory, here is what the river is like when in flood.
