rained all last nite (Sun), slacked off for coiuple hours before the LAST bunch of heavy rain and t storms will pass, and turn to mix. the bad ice and snow will be N and W of us.
Sat there was 2 foot of flowing water down mainstrret of Monnet, city of bout 12,000 30 mi South of here. many low lying areas flooded, and as these huge lakes fill and they have to open the flood gates, it flows from one huge lake into another until it flows out of the last one, thus adding more water to those creeks and rivers. not good!
I live on the edge of the Ozark foothills, go W 10 mi and its prairie. the deal with these hills down here are "crossings", a place in the highway where there is a wet weather ditch or a small flowing creek that when it rains will flow over the road, designed that way, other than have a bridge. hundreds of them in Ozarks and Ar i'm sure.
people die when they try to cross one they should not have, and are swept away. you will say why did they drive into it???? they under estimate the flow, trying to get home and not drive 50 mi out of the way. a BAD mistake sometimes!
I live on the second highest spot in the county. no creeks to flood me, but I have water in the barn just from the amount we have gotten.
