There is a pole that not many El Pasoans know about but the ones that do know are thankful for it. At Album Park there is an area where a long pole stands right in the center of the dip in the ground. The purpose of the pole is to measure how deep the dip gets with water after it pours in El Paso. People from outside El Paso who are new to the area would probably wonder why a pole is planted right in the center of the dip. The whole purpose behind the pole is to warn people about how much a pool of water can gather there when it rains. We all know our community has been known for having a few natural disasters from time to time. One natural disaster El Paso tends to encounter more than any others is severe thunderstorms that lead to flooding.
