The sun popped out right before dark.

I went out & found

a carp in need of CPR, I couldn't help... It used to swim n lake fayetteville

a bunch of old busch cans

lots of new gravel and sand

another old power drill.. with a glove next to it

A massive logjam that slimmed down but has bigger logs

an appliance that was unidentified

a few T-posts

The list goes on....

I took another look at the creek today before the rain.

It was low, clear, and running hard.

Fast forward 12hrs,

Its risen 10ft in the past couple hours and hasn't crested.

The river's at the top of the high bank already.

A result of 3" rainfall today.

In 3 years of living here, I've seen it out of its banks 4 times.

Three of those occurred last week,

It should be out of its banks in a couple hrs, maybe 2am.

Looks like the Ozarks have weathered most of the flooding for the spring, but its looking pretty bad down in East Arkansas and Missouri. It looks like the lower White River will have some crests that will be the highest since the dams were built. The White River at Clarendon is at 35.2 feet, the highest since 35.7 which it reached in 1937, which it will surely pass, with the all time record being 43.3 which occurred in 1927. Does anyone know why the Corps wasn't able to control the flooding better? What kind of changes do you think the Corps may be making, hopefully no more dams, but you never know? Flooding down stream usually means changes upstream.

the white river drains a huge area. I dont know if there was anything the corps could do. Table Rock filled in three days when it was built. When it rains here, it really does pour.

Sounds like a Morton Salt commercial.

Below the last dam on the White (Bull Shoals), there are a LOT of rivers coming into it. Besides smaller creeks, there is the North Fork (dam controlled but they were letting out a LOT of water), Crooked Creek, Buffalo River, Little Red River (dam controlled)...and then the whole Black River system--Black River (dam controlled but it was still in major flood by the time it got to Poplar Bluff), Little Black, Current, Eleven Point, Spring, and Strawberry. All in flood, and most not dam controlled.
