Before or after a heavy rain? :-) It is a very long creek and covers a great distance in Raleigh. It is responsible for nearly all of the major flooding that Raleigh ever incurs. It has on of NC's largest shopping malls, many shopping centers, several major car lots, etc. on it's banks in some of it's most vulnerable areas. You will now see numerous places where businesses have been torn down after giving up on the flooding and new businesses have been built only after hauling in gravel and dirt and building a foundation 12-20 feet above the surrounding area. It looks like buildings built on minature flat topped pyramids. Funny looking, but it works. See the map at http://maps.google.com/maps?sourceid=mozclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=glenw ood%20ave.%2C%20raleigh%2C%20nc&sa=N&tab=wl Rootsweb will undoubtably break the link above into two lines, so you will have to reconstruct it. Crabtree Creek is in the very center of this map and you will be able to click and drag the map following it through most of Raleigh. As it crosses I-440 and Glenwood Avenue to the northwest of this location it becomes too small to show on the map, yet no less prone to flooding and damages. This is where the large shopping mall Crabtree Valley Mall, which shows on the map, has been flooded numerous times over the past 30 years.
