Any river is really the summation of the whole valley. To think of it as nothing but water is to ignore the greater part. — (Hal Borland, This Hill, This Valley)
This valley did, at one time, flood. It is part of the natural cycle here. It is what made the soil rich and fertile. But it was inconvenient. So levees and dams were put in place to control it. But the truth is one cannot stop water, and it is infinitely patient. Every once in a while it reminds us of that.
