Owl Creek Detention Reservoir #4
Photograph of farmer Dick Long pointing to high water levels reached during downpour of May 10 and 11, 1950. Rainfall total was approximately 15 inches in 30 hours. Eighteen inch drew down pipe ran 90 hours. Water ran over spillway short time. Engineer Harry Maricle, shown with Long, estimates capacity of reservoir filled two and one-half time in 72 hour period. Sloughing of sod protection in one place caused residents to fear dam might break during storm. Long, who worked on such dams, told them, "Those dams will be there when we are all gone. "
