A weather system brought significant amount of rain to central and northern parts of Israel towards the end of 2018. In some areas, over 150mm of rain was measured within 2-3 days. Let’s follow the flows and explore affected flooded areas.<\/p>\n
Poleg Reserve near Netanya was flooded, and forced me to look for alternative viewing points.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholder\n
Indeed, nearby Udim Reserve provided a good viewpoint to Poleg Stream, which flooded nearby areas.<\/p>\n
This is how it looked on January 26th, 2018.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_2_placeholder\n
This is how it looked two days later, on January 28th, 2018.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_3_placeholder\n
And another view down the stream,\u00a0on January 26th, 2018.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_4_placeholder\n

Passing by HaOgen junction on road number 4, I noticed a significant water flow. What looks like an impressive stream now, is actually a water canal draining surrounding agricultural areas…<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_6_placeholder\nngg_shortcode_7_placeholder\nngg_shortcode_8_placeholder\n
Alexander Stream is a bigger guy, draining vast areas in Samaria. No wonder it provided a great show.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_9_placeholder\nngg_shortcode_10_placeholder\nngg_shortcode_11_placeholder\nngg_shortcode_12_placeholder\n
Hadera Stream drains vast areas in Samaria as well.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_13_placeholder\nngg_shortcode_14_placeholder\n
Taninim Stream drains the hilly areas of Ramot Menashe<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_15_placeholder\n
This is how it looked near road number 652 near Binyamina on January 26th, 2018.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_16_placeholder\n
And this is how it looked the next morning,\u00a0January 27th, 2018.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_17_placeholder\n
All the streams we met flow into the Mediterranean Sea. The Taninim estuary is exceptionally beautiful, nearby the village of Jisr A(l) Zarka.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_18_placeholder\nngg_shortcode_19_placeholder\n

Drive carefully…<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_20_placeholder\n
Storm aftermath<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_21_placeholder\nngg_shortcode_22_placeholder\nngg_shortcode_23_placeholder\nngg_shortcode_24_placeholder\nngg_shortcode_25_placeholder\n
I\u00a0have been suspecting\u00a0that it is this recently built chimney in “Orot Rabin” power plant that is creating all those storm clouds.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_26_placeholder\nngg_shortcode_27_placeholder\n
