Frequently asked questions
December is not the heaviest month and it causes the most trouble. Why?
The ground is already full by then. Pine flatwoods soil holds water from the fall, so a December total that reads as moderate lands on a profile with nothing left to take. What preceded the month matters more than the month.
The rise drains better than the flats and still takes water. Why?
The pines intercept and concentrate it. A December dump collects in the canopy and drips onto shallow stems below, so a lot with good grade still receives water in a pattern the slope never accounts for. Elevation helps with runoff, not with drip.
Fifty inches a year is already wet. What does a December peak add that June would not?
The covering does not dry. A June cell in this climate still has long days. December's 5.25 inches lands on short days, dripping pines, and a table that will not drop until spring. A pier that would have aired out after a summer storm stays wet into January.
