However, this past weekend, Sunday,Monday, and Tuesday especially it was pouring, a lot of water and flooding around the area. Wrote that part before actually going there. Update: IT IS FLOODED.

Today I couldn't hear the birds or the crickets. I could hear the rain though. The water was moving a little bit because of this.
