apparently the trees were coming down the ditch sideways and blocked the culverts there where Kautz Creek passes under the roadway, so even if you could put 20-foot-diameter culverts in, it would not solve the problem.
Mother Nature does what she wants to do and we puny humans don't have any say in the matter even though we might think we are the master of all creation. We can try and anticipate what might happen and plan for it but then we get thrown a curve ball.
