Eagle Chief Creek Floods

While Eagle Chief Creek was flooding it banks North of Hopeton, Oklahoma, it was also creating havoc in the western part of Woods County, along highway 14 and North of Waynoka, Oklahoma.

Eagle Chief Creek flowed over it's banks last week, Wednesday and Thursday (June 13 & 14, 2007) with over 5 inches of rain and most of it following within an hour on Thursday evening. Afterwards, some residents living about ten miles north of Waynoka, Oklahoma, were filling dumpsters full of stuff because of the flooding.

I wonder if the beavers have built dams along that area as they have in the past... OR... if the residents along Eagle Chief Creek on Hwy 14 have been destroying the natural flow of the creek through there.

At the same time it was raining North of Waynoka on Eagle Chief Creek, our Fairvalley property was getting some nice rain on the grass pastures and old townsites. I am told that it rained 1-1/2 inches both evenings (Wednesday & Thursday of last week, June 13 & 14, 2007). The report is: "Fairvalley has had lots of good rain, just like we have. The grass is absolutely excellent in these parts."
