Yesterday about this time. River has come up 3 feet since then and as of now we still have another 5-6 feet to go. This morning, a restaurant down river about 7 miles.

They're forecasting an atmospheric river event to hit here next week, but nothing like that. We'll have some flooding as the heavy rain combines with melted snow. It hopefully will help to mitigate our current drought and help lessen the upcoming fire season.

I hope you don't get flooded. I can't imagine, what a horrible situation that is for people just trying to live. We have so much snow in the mountains they are talking about flooding here, but I don't see that effecting us personally. Stay safe, be prepared to leave.

Better untie your boat from the trailer and tie it to a tree.

It has 5 more feet to go till crest and another 20 to get to the house. We have 3 ways of egress from here, 2 are flooded out, the remaining route should stay open.

Damn, that looks awful.
I really like that we are on a hilltop, 200 ft above the river (Missouri River).
We catch the full-value wind, but thankfully flooding is not a concern.

Heading to E.Tenn in an hour or two. Spoke to a owner a little bit ago, said the lower end of our neighborhood has some water flowing in yards but from 4 doors below me to the river all of the houses are on 7' pylons. There is a swale for backed up water 2 doors down from mine and it is starting to hold some water.

Won’t help you folks too much if at all but the Corp is opening Bonnet Carre spillway next week. Morganza is on hold and they’ve maxed out the outflow at the Old River lock structures in Concordia. Sumbitch is starting to look like 2016 all over again.

Isn’t it a little early to be seeing these levels on the river? I hope my cousin doesn’t lose his camp.....again! Bonnet Carre won’t get him, but if they open up Morganza.....it may get ugly!
Scott, I wish you the best....stay high and dry! memtb
