Predicted by Dave Uberuaga (Park Superintendent when Kautz Creek flooding closed the park) himself, in public, after he had made the decision not to put Kautz Creek back in its bank and to order million-dollar culverts (and close the park for nearly a year). He said he made a mistake and the culverts wouldn't prevent future channel migration, flooding, and park closure.
