I can only assume, then, that it had taken a day for the flood surge to come downstream.

The road signs advising that this road was closed due to flooding were still in place. I assume, then, that the creek level had only recently subsided.
BEFORE: a month ago these rocks were completely exposed.
AFTER: today the water was rushing over the rocks, and I was unable to stand in the same spot as above to take a comparison photograph.
BEFORE: This photograph from yesterday shows the creek up, but not as much as today.
AFTER: the creek has risen a couple of feet from yesterday.
