Frequently asked questions
Only the uphill wall is wet. Leak or drainage?
On sloping ground, almost always drainage. That wall retains saturated soil rather than merely enclosing the space, so it carries hydrostatic pressure the downhill side never experiences. A single consistently wet wall on a hill is a signature rather than a coincidence.
Why would a small river matter more than a large one?
Because its catchment is heavily paved and its channel is modest. Developed ground delivers runoff quickly and in full, so a small river receives a sharp peak it was never sized for. Large rivers rise over days; a system like this responds within the hour.
Do tropical remnants really reach this far north?
As rainfall, regularly. The wind weakens well before this latitude but the moisture arrives largely intact, and it lands in September on ground that has had a full warm season to accumulate. The result is drainage failure rather than storm damage.
