Scythe, you've surprised me here, more than just a bit. You had waterlogged ground, inviting wet run-off and the potential for more rain to follow and you still chose to camp on a island in the middle of a stream...
Early pioneers were aware of the possibility of streams/rivers rising through the night and always made their crossing before making camp.
