Five Feet High and Rising

How high is the water mama?
Two feet high and rising
How high's the water, papa?
She said is two feet high and rising"
(Johnny Cash)
Obviously we had quite a bit of rain last night. Well, upstream they had, our village of course not so much.
But anyway, the level of the Gersprenz was high enough to flood the by-road to the next village downstream. At least 5 feet, but more like 7.
And by the end of the day it was much lower again.
