We have a big stream flow through our borough that would flood. Back in the 60's our small town partnered with the Army Corps of Engineers to dredge our creek and create flood protection. That's right, our small, rural town worked with big government. The past couple of days we had a lot of rain and flooding in towns all around my town, but our town didn't flood.
