That's not Riley Creek. That's a real flash flood in a field on Pevee Road. Steve Stratton took this photo during Wednesday's rain. More photos are below.
Wednesday's thundershowers were an odd mix of serious flooding on one property and mere sprinkles on another. The Icon has heard reports of rain of .25 inches all the way to over 4 inches.
Perhaps the heaviest hit area was between Lincoln Highway and State Route 81 north of Ada.
Here are views of the rain taken by Steve Stratton from his residence on Pevee Road. The views include a field behind his residence - no it's not Riley Creek.
