Here's a couple of pictures I snapped today of what are usually dry creeks or have very little water flowing through them. These are tributaries to Little Sugar. Tanyard creek looking roughly north across 340. You can see the top of the golf cart bridge in the middle of the pic. This creek was practically dry a couple of weeks ago. The top of that bridge is probably at least 8 feet above the creek bed in dry times. Here's some flowing water running through the softball field, fence is taken out. The creek that is causing this flooding is located back in the trees. Another shot, you can see gravel that is deposited by the outhouse, outhouse has been moved about 50 yards.

Thanks for the warning.

I was told that 71 near the MO border was almost shut down this morning because of Little Sugar flooding.

Little Sugar is now the Very Big Sugar, the golf courses along 71 are all flooded, water is surging through the fairways, damage is going to be extensive and expensive. It's as bad, if not worse, than the flooding we saw, several springs ago. Tanyard creek was almost over 340, and I was told that they closed 340 at the bridge for a spell this morning. The new golf cart bridges built over Tanyard are almost completely submerged and the maintenance Bldg. near the confluence of Tanyard and Sugar is flooded with a power pole leaning on it. Crazy stuff, let's hope that there isn't anymore heavy rain for the next few days so this water can run off.

Ozark Ranger, you can follow the action by using this link. Up to 919.5 now.

Saw this on the news last night. Sadly, yet another drowning. http://nwahomepage.com/fulltext?nxd_id=451212

Yes it should be good for the lake, I'm just hoping it doesn't turn to chocolate milk. Might get the bass back into the bushes where they are easier to catch.

Just looked at the gauge, lake has shot up about a foot and still rising.

When the trial starts, they'll have the "good guy" dressed in a suit with a nice haircut. He'll look like a respectable local businessman. The crazy looking dude in the mug shot will be nowhere to be found.

KC back to winning ways.

I'll drive over the creek later this morning and see what's going on. Catfish should be biting on the BV lakes where the creeks come in.

Almost 919 now and they are running a lot of water out the dam. Unbelievable the amount of rain we're getting.

Hope you get better soon F&F, did they give you an estimate for recovery time?

I get up this morning, check the weather report on Weather.com and watch the radar. Forecast says no rain south of I-44, radar doesn't show any rain except north of 44. Make the drive over, fish about an hour and a half, and in comes the rain. Rained off and on, mostly on, for the rest of the morning. Heavy rain with some lightning. Got tired of hiding in dock stalls or in my truck, called it quits at 11 AM. There was a decent topwater bite whenever there was a 10 minute window in between downpours, also picked a few up swimming a Keitech. Nothing of any size however.

Yeah it's not good for Manziel, but he's going to need a time machine to go back and fix things. I don't think he'll be dropping out, he's going to get Kicked out..

Twins won last night, grr...

He's eligible for the 2014 draft, and he was a redshirt freshman. There's also the CFL.

A&M has hired a law firm for Johnny. This could go places the NCAA doesn't want it to go.

Just watched the show, Christie was flippin bushes just about the whole time up the Elk river.

It's dropped almost to normal level, up from the low flow we were seeing before the rain, but not what I would call high. Water is stained somewhat also.

Yeah it makes sense to leave at least the ramp open. They are still going to have to pay for upkeep and maintenance and enforcement of parking permits.

Next year maybe? All indications are that he would play this year and jump.

Hard spanking will just send him to the NFL. That's another problem with NCAA "justice", the players just move on, in the case of the star players just jump to the NFL. Meanwhile the school and it's fans are stuck with the sanctions.

Could be a rat out there. It's not good for NCAA football to have them ban Johnny. Like the guy or not, he'll put fans in the stands and generate TV viewership.

So much depends on the jury and the quality of the attorneys on both sides.
