How long after rain stops does it take for a creek or river to crest?
The crest of a flood stage can vary greatly depending on the number of tributaries and the distribution of rain or snow melt. The lower (downstream) portions will almost always crest later due to the movement of the water volume. Even after the crest, which is the high point of the water, flooding can continue for lengthy periods until the water drains. The time required for this is also dependent on additional rain, blockage of exit paths, or comparative elevation for the flooded areas.

Why does low tide occur after an earthquake and before the tsunami?
The same reason that the sea draws out a little bit before a normal wave - the higher water near the beach is drawn into the incoming wave as it "rolls" into the sand as it nears the shore. This water makes the wave rise above the undisturbed water. A tsunami/tidal wave is just so much bigger so it removes more water from the shore.
