Where's your nearest storm drain?

It was all over last night's newscasts -- clear your storm drains of leaves and debris to help reduce urban flooding. It's not a one-shot deal, though. Flowing water and wind will deposit more leaves on top of those storm drains. 

Creek Peek for Families

Take on your nearest storm drain as a family project. (If you live in Seattle, you have 78,000 to choose from!) When you remove the leaves and gunk that clog a storm drain, don't just push them to a nearby spot. Mulch or compost those leaves or have them taken away in your yard waste. Then they won't just settle right back over the drain.
