Yes 5 inches of rain was a little bit. I had less than a foot going over my main driveway bridge. Not too bad. I have seen a 12 inch rain. Then around 5 feet of water goes over the bridge and my small creek becomes an eight of a mile wide. Then it even starts to go over my suspended walking bridge. Kind of keeps me pegged in. Can't get in or out. I become a little like an island. Life in the backwoods - isn't it grand.
