Saw the flooding in Killeen on Fox this morning. I can believe it because our yard was a lake. Thankfully, it soon ran off. The rain was coming in sideway sheets against our house. They must have a dam open because the river is down so they’re expecting some more flooding from run-offs.
Rains in mid Missouri have pushed Lake of the Ozarks up by 12 inches over the past week. Flood gates are open at Bagnel.
Our backyard is still a lake, but our Golden Retriever puppy is happy about this. He’s convinced that we had it installed especially for him to run around in, and anti-retrieve my door mat to (why does that dog insist on dragging the door mat to the knee deep part and then look to me to retrieve it?!). As I type, he is tossing his stuffed fox into the water, then jumping in after it.
When my weather bug chirped at me about 30 min ago we had 5 flood warnings/watches up. Down to two now (I’m thinking some of them were repeats of the same ones or something).
I bet Belton Lake isn’t down anymore...
Here is an AP article I just saw, complete with a video: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070526/ap_on_re_us/plains_storms
