It’s expected that heavy rains on the burn scar will cause flooding since there’s no vegetation to slow the water down. I live nowhere near where the fire was so it’s probably good that the heavy rain on Sunday was around my house instead of in the mountains, but there was still cause for concern here.
This is the stormwater channel normally (little to no rain):
This was Sunday afternoon:
The water actually was up into the edge of the parking lot down the hill, but I couldn’t see that from my door to get a good picture and it was still raining.
This is what happened just downstream on the channel that goes behind my house:
That last picture sure makes me glad that I live back from the channel a bit, though that’s not obvious since it’s all downhill so you don’t see much ground between where I took the picture and the channel.
