As of April 15th 2006, Lower Silver Creek experienced a 100 year flood event for 3 days. While this flood did not cause major damage, it did shift silt around quite a bit. The full extent of this flooding will become evident as the stream clears. Purdy's Dam took a small hit and had some minor damage but it looks as if it held up pretty well. Please feel free to send us photos or observations that you might find.
