I think we're all about ready for it, Ted. All the roller and tainter gates at Dam 14 are up all the way... which rarely happens, but they're being very proactive with it right now.
I don't live on the river anymore (snif...) but mom and dad still do. they're all set for it, house is plenty high, so no worries. I have friends on the downstream side of 14 that'll be having fun with it, but they're prepared.  |

Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest.

Just took a picture of the gauge down the street from my folks' place, it's right at 15.10", flood stage is 14. Water is almost all the way to the road in front of his house, it's over the road a hundred yards up the street (doesn't mean much), but based on water flow in Bellevue and Dubuque, I'd say it's gonna rise another inch or two, then start a gradual fall by Wednesday or so.

Yeah, we crested on Tuesday or Wednesday here. Anybody got any of them smart....er,,,,,,memory pills? That was only a couple of days ago and already I can't remember which day it was. They were predicting 21.?? here, but it only got the 14.??. Flood stage here is 12.
Thank God it's not gonna be as bad as they predicted, but still bad enough.

Missouri River here dropped 5 feet in 12 hours, still proceeding Down with Truman and Osage releasing water.
