Frequently asked questions
The capital sits in a gorge. Is that better drainage or a worse outlet?
Worse outlet. The palisades shed July's 5.44 inches onto a floor that can only dump into a river already filling the gap. 'Gorge' sounds like drainage; it works as a funnel. North Frankfort is the low end of it, so those streets surcharge while the bench above sends the same cells down joints in the limestone. Rock on both sides means one way out, and the town is standing in it.
The house is on the palisade bench, not the floor. Is the river still the job?
Not as flood. As karst, yes — that bench is limestone, and July cells go down joints and into the hillside basement. The floor is a river job. The bench is a karst job. Same wettest month, stacked in a gorge. A pump that works on the floor will not read on the bench.
1937 is the famous crest. Why does an ordinary July still stain North Frankfort?
1937 was the river at record. Ordinary July is the palisades plus a river that does not need a record to hold the outfalls. North Frankfort cellars take that combination most summers. Waiting for another 1937 is how the ordinary year gets ignored.
