We got a little over 6 inches too. The creek was up and held the whole neighborhood hostage until 3 in the afternoon. The springs have been feeding it again and it has flowed over the road crossing for about 3 months now.
About 10:30 a Suburban thought he was going to cross. 1/4 of the way out his front end was sliding. He hit reverse and came flying back out of there just before he would have gone over the edge. It aint the depth, it is the force behind it. Your tires back it up and then it is backed against the body of the truck. I walked down there and showed him the peg on the wall. I said, "When you can see this peg out of the water, you can cross." His wife was pointing that finger at him and barking in Spanish.
