Folks along i29 from Nebraska city and south need to watch. Missouri is expected to Crest record levels at Brownsville maybe higher than 2011 flooding. Lot of water coming if you live along or drive that stretch. Jim

Last I heard, they were dumping 100,000 cubic feet per second out of Gavin's Point Dam! FYI, that's a crapload of H2O!

For those not familiar with the upper Midwest, Gavins Point Dam is the lowest dam(holding Lewis and Clark Reservoir) on the Missouri River. Open shot below that to the confluence with the Mississippi. With Sioux City IA, Omaha and Council Bluffs, Kansas City and St. Joseph just being a few in the way of that "open shot". The snow in Montana caused the problems in 2011. I assume we have not even seen any of that run off yet. Could be a long summer again. LLL

Last I heard, they were dumping 100,000 cubic feet per second out of Gavin's Point Dam! FYI, that's a crapload of H2O! And that is 1.5 million gallons every 2 seconds. Hard to comprehend that amount of water moving that fast.

Gavins Point releases are scheduled to be reduced 7,000 cfs every 12 hours starting at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 16.
I just found the above on the Corps of Engineers web site. The decrease in release rate might not have happened quick enough.
Providing wild fur to the industry at below the cost of production for over 50 years.
Mostly carbon neutral since 1948.

Last I heard, they were dumping 100,000 cubic feet per second out of Gavin's Point Dam! FYI, that's a crapload of H2O! This morning there was 170,000 cfs moving thru Rulo NE. They're headed for higher ground.

My fiance's folks decided not to evacuate. They are holed up in their home @ Linoma Beach 3 miles east of Ashland, NE. They are now surrounded by feet of water. A rescue boat came by earlier and they(he) refused rescue. Seems a lot to ask when they can't get out of their own way, but prayers would be appreciated!

Went to Brookings and back today the roads East were no problem they opened up West River about 10AM as I was leaving it looked like the Indy 500 starting when they all were cut loose. Seen 1 Semi on it's side in the medium cab and all then one car with the front end wrecked on top of a drift.
The one thing looming is the standing water it's everywhere with a lot more snow to melt then add to that mess all just waiting to bust loose then it will be a big mess, if it freezes at night then that might slow down the flooding some.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Just was reading about the flooding up there. 90mph wind gusts where reported in the panhandle up there. 71 was our top wind speed. When all that water gets to the Mississippi things are going to get nasty south of you. I saw the Mississippi and Ohio yesterday and they were already busting at the seams.

For those not familiar with the upper Midwest, Gavins Point Dam is the lowest dam(holding Lewis and Clark Reservoir) on the Missouri River. Open shot below that to the confluence with the Mississippi. Gavins Point is also one of the smallest of the 6 Missouri River dams. Its overall storage capacity has also been substantially reduced since its construction in the 1950s, primarily from sediment being dumped into the reservoir by the Niobrara. My back of the envelope guess is about 25% reduction in storage as the back third or so the old reservoir is now mostly sandbars and reed patches (great waterfowl hunting and certain fishing!!). The AoE was told this would be an issue when they proposed the dam but basically ignored it. I should dig up some sat imagery on Monday and how what the back end of the reservoir looked like in 1972/73 and what it looked like last year. Just a tad different.

I've heard of one death in Nebraska where a farmer in his tractor went through a bridge and drowned going to help neighbors.
