Just hope we don't get another flash flood this weekend as flood control capacity is maxed out .
Man yall have had the rain!!!!!!!
This coming week isn't looking good after Saturday.
Sure feel sorry for folks living down stream. Not much they can do now.
With the exception of Thursday, there's a 60% chance of rain every day next week. :banghead Just hope the dang weather guessers are wrong this time, when we need it!
Man that's got you messed up budro.
Nimrod suppose to crest Monday at 372.8 and thats without any more rain. Whats the highest you've seen it?

I can remember as a kid my dad and his buddies wading around in the flooded field around Nimrod and catching Buffalo in dip nets. We use to catch alot of crappie on Yo Yo's and jigs in the flooded woods to. They had a big Squirrel and Crappie camp at Andersons Branch for several years back when it was gravel. Those were the good ole days.
I lived at Hollis in 1982. The water got above the pavement on the South Fourche bridge. Harley Crain tried to cross it on foot but the water was too high, he had to wait till it went down a little. A man from the AGC told me that according to their measurements that the 1982 flood only happens once every 500 years or so. We had 19 inches of rain in 24 hours.Quote:

I know there was huge culverts washed out all over the mountains the next spring when we went Turkey Hunting ! Some roads were just gone in places and left holes big enough to drop a good size house in .Quote:

Not as bad as Oklahoma. But could get that way.
Oklahoma's water will be coming down the Arkansas River !Quote:
