You know, for the biennial "Phoenix Creek becomes Phoenix River torrent".

You know, for the > biennial "Phoenix Creek becomes Phoenix River torrent". I'm closer to I-17. There are typically 30-40 days of rain here each year, but about 28 of them are storm days, and we don't have anything close to the drainage capacity that a place like Chicago does. The last big floods here occurred in the 1980s, when 100-year floods occurred two years in a row and wiped out all the bridges across the Salt River, except for one in Tempe built in the 1930s as a New Deal make-work project.
