Anybody got an oar?
I just braved the walk to the main office suite in search of caffiene. Got stopped on the way by this guy named Noah. Nice enough guy, just looking for directions, but let me tell you, when he rolled down the driver's side window on his boat . . . phew! It smelled like a zoo in there.
It's been coming for awhile. Now it's starting to look like this may really be a flood year (we get significant flooding every 10 years or so, and the last was 1993, so we're due). They expect the Santa Cruz River to overflow its banks in a couple spots today, based on the morning rains. It was raining when I rolled out of bed at 4:30 AM to unplug my computer. It's still coming down pretty good right this minute.
I was looking for pictures, but I can't find any, so you'll have to settle for impressive stories and a flood warning:

[Edit: Water crested at 12.09 feet, fourth highest flow recorded (record-keeping began in 1915). I don't have an update on whether that put the Santa Cruz over its banks. I did find some pictures: http://community.azstarnet.com/slideshows/flash/index.php?id=318.]

To misquote the Bard, you are She:
