Speaking of the Red River. When I was stationed up at Grand forks it seemed that every spring the banks would over flow in Grand forks and we would send troops from the base into town to help with the sand bagging... They thanked us every year by comeing out to the base gates and protesting our presence and the nukes we watched over... ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif) ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

We had a big thunder storm move through here tonite that caused quite a lot of damage. We got word that because of heavy rains up-river, they may need to open the flood gates of the missouri river dams even more. That's all we need.

Great pictures, Rich. The one of that storm is scary. Glad to see the daughter is plenty strong.

The river level is now at 34.5 feet in this area. Flood gates will be opened to 160,000 CFS tomorrow, which they predict will raise our river level another 4".

Hey Cronk,
Are you staying dry?
Coming north from Springfield to KC, MO Wednesday afternoon illustrated how fickle Mother Nature is this year. Within an hour of us, Joplin is in pieces. Just north of us, flood waters are at record highs. At Truman Reservoir, water levels are lower than I've ever seen them. Whereas the lake is known for its abundant treetop snags piercing the water's surface everywhere, at present, there are no snags or tips. The actual trees, as well as the islands of mud they're anchored in are clearly visible. Boat ramps bottom out a hundred yards from the water's edge. I'm guessing the lake is ~25-30' below conservation pool right now.

We are still dry right now, but some area's closer to the river have been flooded by the ground water seepage. The latest concern for me is a levee break twenty miles up-river. Water runs down hill in this area.

Lance, almost every reservoir has been pulled down to near record lows hear in Washington as well. Because of the record snowpack, and anticipation of warmer weather, they need all the room they can get if it starts melting in a hurry. I imagine they are doing the same thing in yor neck of the woods?

Just yesterday a Sheriff deputy spotted a guy floating down I-29 in a small boat. The deputy waited down-stream where the pavement was dry, and gave the guy a few tickets. Just further proof that you can't fix stupid.

I'm guessing you're refering to the cop as being stupid, last I checked floating in a boat was still legal.
Hope all is well Rich.

JD,
Normally it would be legal, but all of these flood waters are now considered the Missouri river. The Federal Government has banned all boats from the river.
