RowdyRebel Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Looking good this morning...hopefully it keeps going down, but they haven't changed the forecast yet so maybe they think there's still more water coming? Don't know...playing the waiting game now... Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

RowdyRebel Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 This one looks even better...still not sure what to make of it. Farmhand where we're staying said I55 up north had flooded again and had to be pumped out. We weren't supposed to crest until tomorrow. Sure hope the worst is over...

RowdyRebel Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Well, a floodwall or flood gate or levee of some sort broke down in Olive Branch this morning, which explains the drop in levels and the new forecast. That's about 20-25 miles or so south of me and HOPEFULLY there are some other levees and such between there and my house. Pretty sure there are. If that's the case, we're pretty much out of danger...and if not, we're under water. I'm almost positive we're OK though. 2 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

Vladislav Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Fingers crossed Rowdy.Today checking the local email site I read about the flood in St Louis area and thought to myself there was nothing on BMT about it.Now I found out what I've missed.My hopes for the best for you.

Popular Post RowdyRebel Posted January 3, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2016 http://www.semissourian.com/gallery/26140 Some pics the local newspaper took yesterday flying over the area. The levee that broke yesterday apparently was a pretty darned good levee to have break, because they said no houses flooded that weren't already under water. They are saying we'll be back under "major flood stage" some time on Wednesday, and the only levee they are still concerned about is a sinkhole in the one on the north side of the Big Muddy River protecting Grand Tower. The south levee on that river is the one protecting our house...so we should be in the clear. Probably be home tonight and start moving our stuff back later in the week around my work schedule. So much to be thankful for as the new year begins...back to work, still got a house...2016 is off to a "fun" start for sure. 5 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!
