If an outlet is not clogged, water will ALWAYS flow out of that gutter EVEN IF THERE IS DEBRIS IN THE REST OF THE GUTTER. The reason this will happen is that water always follows the path of least resistance. Water will flow under and around debris in the gutter (Underflow™), out the clear outlet and down the downspout and away from the house.
