Tornado sirens went off in Osage Beach and Eldon last night. No touch downs, tho.
Water is at 661.2 and slowly rising. Flood gates are more open this morning than they were yesterday. I want to drive down behind the dam and get a few pix...
as of 8:30 your time the discharge was up to 76,900 cubic feet per second.
96k is the max as was reached in the 51 flood with no Truman Lake up stream. I bet you can see the current on the main arm. Prior to last nights storm it was at 36k.
The Osage River below the dam is now about 13 feet higher than it was yesterday morning. Big change for down stream.
Heavy rain and tornado warnings around me most of last night (Lafayette County between Odessa and Lexington). Tornado touchdown in Lee's Summit, suburban KC, a couple of miles from where my boyfriend lives. No injuries, minor damage. Wettest spring I can remember.
