You've probably heard, the floods are here again. The Harly motorcycle store on I 29 south of Pacific Junction was finishing up painting for the restoration from the earlier flood for a grand opening this week end. water came up so fast, workers had a hard time getting out of there.

same up here.. Lake Ontario is highest it's ever been but Ontario is NOT ALLOWED to open 'flood gates' at Cornwall as it'd give Quebec too much water ! Idiots there built in a KNOWN flood plain but Toronto ,Hamilton, rtc. HAVE to be flooded ? even though Montreal et al are already flooded ??? Same up in Bracebridge, thousands flooded cause the IDIOTS didn't open the floodgates... they even left LESS water out even though more than 2X the water compared to last year... IDIOTS !!!! arrgh... I'd also like to know WHERE the 250,000 + sandbags go ? I'd like 10,000 of them !

Just did a run thru the bottoms and around our area for roughly 50 miles. Creeks are backed up due to river level, bottoms have a few fields planted, a few planted fields at least 30% drowned out, some fields appear dry, owners made a lap around with either disc or cultivator, WAY too wet beneath. Really UGLY season.
We have dams on the Upper Missouri in the Dakotas, they are releasing water, Truman and Bagnall Reservoirs on the Osage dump to the Missouri, they are at flood pool and dumping as rains are coming. Floods all along Illinois, Mississippi and Ohio rivers as well.

Garrison dam is sealed up pretty tight. They said on the radio the other day the Missouri River in Bismarck was at 5'. Down 3' from last week. Might take a different route to see Darrel tomorrow just to see how low it is.

This week the Corps of Engineers upped output at Gavins Point dam from 60,000 to 75,000 cubic feet per second. But this is less than half what it was flowing in June & July 2011. The Big Sioux River is full, up from Sioux City. Glad the next week is to be dry!
