I used to catch trout and sunfish in the stream.  It snowed a foot one day then rained that night.  The next morning the stream that could be stepped across in 2 steps was 100 feet across and moving at 20-30 mph.  A bit higher and homes would have been lost.  That kind of thing is happening all the time now.
