Major Flooding On MO. River,Any T People Affected?
I think there are some T people located in or around the MO. River flood plain. Another Major flood is going on, a dam on the Niobabra River in NE.upstream from the Gavins Point Dam at Yankton SD. failed, just one of many problems. Lots of damage all along the river. I hope everyone is safe. Dave
1925 mostly original coupe.

Gavins Point increased releases to 100,000 cfs for a time to evacuate the Niobrara flood waters. The Gavins Point reservoir was at records levels even with the next upstream dam, Ft Randall, reducing releases to zero. The Corps of Engineers said they've released enough water in the last couple of days to empty reservoir over 2 times.
We're just north of Sioux Falls, SD. 2.5" of rain on frozen ground and heavy snowpack created a flooding disaster in the South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Iowa. Multiple gages on the Big Sioux River around and south of Sioux Falls set records or came very close. Multiple homes have had their basement walls collapse. All this water will eventually head to the Missouri, but the scary thing is none of the snow up north has melted yet.
Our house had no problems but my sister and my wife's two sisters both had water in their homes.
