The creek by my house is usually 8 feet deep and my house is on a little hill 5 feet above it. They say that if the creek floods 5 feet my house will be destroyed. In a heavy rain the creek rises at a rate of one inch per minute. For the past half hour we have had a heavy rain but now we are in a severe thunderstorm! How Many minutes do my family and i have to evacuate before your home gets destroyed? Inequality Question
