sediment buildup has led to flash flooding, which happens when a sudden rush of water down the creek is diverted into a neighborhood or town. The last time that happened was 1991, said Small, but the risk of a flash flood has always hung
The Eagle fire that has burned an estimated 14100 acres between Warner Springs and Borrego Springs since last week is 90 percent contained, but state fire officials warned that flash floods could develop in the burned area Friday
First ones! And, we were told the chickens wouldn’t be old enough to lay until October.
Are they just extra brilliantly advanced because of our tenderness and love?
Are they mutants?
Is it one chicken, who has laid them in the same little spot each day for the past 3 days and we just didn’t notice?
Or did three chickens take turns squatting on the same little nesting spot this morning? The Damsel likes this mental image but is it realistic? (There are four chickens at the Damsel’s cottage, just FYI. 3 of one type, 1 of another.)
The eggs are small and adorably brown. Can we bear to eat them even though they are so cute?
The Damsel doesn’t know. This is all new to her. She eagerly awaits comments from the chicken experts out there in internet-land.
One man is dead after flash flooding in rural Galena. Officers with the Jo Daviess County Sheriff's Department tell KWQC they responded to an emergency call just before 9:30 Wednesday night. A man was stranded in his vehicle, trapped by rising flood waters on Thunder Bay Road, just east of Mt. Hope Road.
Officers began a rescue mission, working to get Daniel Wegner to safety. But, they tell us rising water and the swift current carried the vehicle away, with Wegner inside. Crews continued the search, but could not find Wegner or his vehicle until Thursday morning. At about 10, rescue workers found Wegner in his car, about 100 yards from where they first made their rescue attempt.
They tell us that was one of 15 or 20 made Wednesday night. All others were successful. They say no one has been reported missing. They have no injuries to report.
And while Highway 20 is open as of Thursday night, many other roads are closed. Officers ask drivers to use caution when approaching flooded roads. They say many times, it is difficult to tell how deep the water is, until it is too late. Crews say it takes just a few inches to float a car. That can be dangerous not only to drivers and passengers inside, but to rescue crews as well.
