We live on the Lindo Channel here in Chico, which is an overflow for Chico Creek. The channel doesn’t have water in it most of the time as it’s designed for, well…overflow. Overflow isn’t really something we deal with a lot here in droughty California. But, when the rain comes down this much, this quickly, overflow is exactly what you get.

The above photo doesn’t even capture the high water mark, but I get down there to take photos when I can, not when I want to.

It’s going down pretty quickly, the photo above is roughly 24 hours later.
