We had a bit of a rainstorm this morning; my drainage ditch is ... somewhere under there

Later in the day, the water flow collapsed the culvert under 50% of my driveway and made a pretty cool waterfall. Fortunately it turns out the town is responsible for repairs! Culvert destroyed and subsequent small waterfall

I don't see it, but if they're repping in my yard, I'm honored.

edit: I do see it very clearly now. I think I had just woken up when I posted this.

It looks like a beautiful area, but water always wins.
