Frequently asked questions
West Lafayette is across the Wabash. Same storm, different outcome. Why?
Campus sits on the terrace. Lafayette's mill grid sits on the floodplain. A June cell that is a seep on the hill is a river problem on this side, and Wildcat Creek adds a flash the terrace does not get. Same rain. Different seat in the valley. The river is the divider, not the city line.
The Wabash was behaving. Why did Wildcat still enter the east-side blocks?
Wildcat is a different catchment. It can jump on a cell that never reached the Wabash's upstream gauges. Treating 'the river' as one system is how those blocks get a wrong forecast. If the wet came from the east and the Wabash stage was ordinary, it was the creek.
Is a 1971 basement on the valley wall a flood problem or a seep problem?
Seep, unless the floor is actually on the floodplain. The wall takes till water from above after a long June rain; the floodplain takes the Wabash. Elevation of a few blocks is the difference between a cut-face job and a river job. Mixing them wastes the first day of drying.
