Wow, that's insane!
Holy Crap!
That's the TOP of the Lock showing.
Catfish jumping in the bean fields out in the LR port complex. DP
3 more inches of rain and it will be just right!
Projected to hit 280. Highest its been since 1990. 2nd highest ever recorded. Pretty wild.
That's gonna change the bottom contour and structure quite a bit!
Hit 280 at 0800 this morning and still rising.......but don't know stats, the gauge is not working any past 280 it seems!!! Flow is 320,000 cu ft/sec. It looks like it is falling from a waterfall or something.
1983 was amazing. Lock 1 was totally underwater. 1990 was bad. I don't know how to compare. This is just awful.
Not sure about the Toads, but all that water sucks.
Saw on Oklahoma television last night that Oklahoma is letting all they can go! Don't look like it's gonna get better anytime soon.
I believe we have at least one or two folks living in the areas described in the WARNING notice for Ark River below. The last reading was many hours ago at 280 feet, and the gauges are just not working now:
* Forecast...The river will hold steady or very slowly fall through Sunday. The
river will then begin rising, and will rise to a second crest of 280.3 feet
Tuesday. Flows are estimated over 300,000 CFS and are expected to remain high
through the middle of next week. Please monitor the latest forecasts for any
updates.
* Impacts at 279.0 feet...More farmland in Perry County flooded from backwaters
up the Fourche La Fave River. Parking lot of the Lock and Dam flooded and
water over lock walls.
* Impact...at 280.0 feet...Portions of the Treasure Hills Subdivision
north of Conway may be flooded from backwaters of East Cadron
Creek. Several roads west of Mayflower including Jones Lane,
Easterwood Point, Sand Gap, Raney Pavillion, and Windsong Way
will be inundated.
* This flood crest will be just under half a foot higher than the crest Friday
May 29th, and the highest since May of 1990.
Heart goes out to everybody in that part of the country.
