A local town, Capitola, experienced flooding when a six foot in diameter pipe burst under the pressure of water from recent rains. The city, state or someone once upon a time decided to cram a creek into a pipe, showing an arrogance that almost always comes back to bite people in the ass. Little creeks usually trickle, but water is dynamic, and sometime little creeks become, for a short time, raging rivers. This particular creek is called a gulch, further compounding our arrogance.
Yeah, sure, call it a gulch, shove it through a pipe and forget about it. Well, not quite.
