Speck, my buddies said the diversion channel at Cape is waaaaaaaaaaaaay out.
Hit a new record this morning Torch. Beat the 1937 record.
Saw on early news this morning that some towns in Missouri are already in real trouble even to late to sand bag because water is coming up so fast.Quote:

Thanks Machhuu. I live up in the hills, but there are a bunch of folks in the low lands that are in a bad way right now.
I'm about a mile from the MO river but in the hills. No problems in this area Y E T.
I hope Grizzly jig is okay.
As far as I know Stan, C'ville is still dry
Someone said they saw where the Corps had a meeting and are talking about breeching the levee somewhere in Missouri. I really can't believe this but if they did it would have to be Cape and flood 140000 acres of farm land.
It around New Madrid, Torch. There's an old law on the books that requires the Corps of Engineers to blow this particular levee if the river reaches a certian level on the Cairo Illinois gauge. This law was put into effect when Cairo was a booming metropolis, to take pressure off of Cairo's levee. New Madrid County and some land owners have filed an emergency injunction in Federal Court against the Corps to stop them from blowing it.Quote:

We were told today that if the river reaches these levels that it will come over at Friars Point Mississippi. That is due west of Clarksdale and about 25 NW of me and Sat. I hope this makes a pencil pusher some where realize they need to let this water go in the winter months.
