Paradise Flooded

When I got to work, what had been simply a loading dock behind the store had become a dock extending into water, as Paradise Creek had gone over its banks and into the parking lot.

By the time I got out with the camera, the water had receeded a few feet, but was still higher than I'd ever seen it.

Normally you'd have a hard time seeing any water at all in this ditch.

What had been Gormley Park was now a small lake.

Water lines left on the walls showed they'd had about a foot of water in their first floor apartments. That had to suck.

What had been built to keep the water out was now keeping the water in, preventing the parking lot from draining.
