That lake might get bigger than you think during one of the frequent flash floods that pass through this part of the country.
I agree. The ponds around us have serious spillways.
The good news on that front is that the gully that we're damming empties into a creek that flows through an uninhabited part of the county. If there were trouble, the most that might happen is a few cows might get swept away. This isn't going to be the Johnstown Flood.
