Great pics. Thanks!
Good web site to assess storm intensity: https://waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/11119750/#parameterCode=00060&showMedian=false&startDT=2023-01-10&endDT=2024-02-05
I recommend switching the view to “Discharge”. The Feb 4 2024 storm produced a peak discharge level about as great as the Jan 9 2023 storm. Both resulted in duck ponds at the intersection of Cota and Bath.
