Will Isacc Be The Drought Buster For Southern Missouri?

[Guest]

8-9 inches of rain is very serious stuff. Great for the rivers probably, but if anyone is really planning to fish through this I'd seriously discourage that. I'm not sure that much came down when the Albert Pike disaster occurred. That's worth thinking about, even if rainfall this will occur over a much longer period of time.

I think Albert Pike was in the 7"-9" rain, so yeah.

Theres going to be a strip of rain fall from Litte Rock to Mtn Home, Branson, Springfield, all the way over to the Ohio River Valley.

The Big Rivers and croplands really need relief.

Its a drought buster!! that fore sure

The cajuns are blowing levees down in Red Stick because storm surge topped a levee and flooded part of their marsh.

All I can say is "let it rain, let it rain, let it rain." Almost like Christmas. Can't wait. I have to admit though I had 3" of rain last week, so I'm not hurting quite as bad now.

I bet it goes around us. I will still water the garden as usual till I see it fall.

16 INCH shortage at local airport for the year so far. We would need several of these events to break even for the year.

I'm so looking forward to it. I might get to float the Buffalo again this year!

At least it is not an ICE storm... I love getting called out to peoples house for leaks to only find someone thought a pick and shovel was a way to get ice off a roof.

The ensemble model this morning has its path hitting the SW corner of MO. If that holds all of southern MO should get heavy rain. I hope it stays to the west so that the area above the KS/MO line gets a good share, they need it also.

The National Weather Service is specifically warning those who are floating or gravel bar camping in the Ozarks during the storm...The Current, Jacks Fork, Eleven Point, and Niangua were all mentioned as streams that could see the brunt of the storm.

Yeah I don't think I would be trying to float this weekend. You just never know what it's going to do.

They have already moved a bunch of the high school football games to tonight because of the forecast on Friday.

I don't think I'd be pushing my luck with this thing. With as dry as it is even 2 inches of water coming down in a short amount of time it will just run off and cause instant flash floods.
