Blazerman Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Might help ease the drought some. Too bad it looks like it will be over Labor Day weekend. The weather service is already warning of Flash flooding from small creeks. Be careful while camping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryk Campbell Sr Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I was camping with my family when hurricane ike came through, at roaring river state park. The flooding was amazing, and dangerous. We were moved up to a higher campground by the camp staff. The next morning, the river was well above 8 feet higher than it was the day before. Be extremely careful if you are camping in the storms produced. Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction.

Guest Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I had one of the all-time best river fishing days right as the storm was moving over the area. Its too bad that I gotta attend a wedding this weekend instead of fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne SW/MO Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 This morning they are saying it is in line to hammer this area hard. As always, time will tell. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 We got flooded out down at Montauk with the kids in tow in April of 2011....not fun. Think I'd wait for the rain to stop before I'd head down for a riverside campout...5-6 inches in the forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozark trout fisher Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 They are predicting the possibility of "flooding rains" at least in the central part of the state. Everyone needs to be careful out there. If it's as significant as they're saying, fishing during this, let alone camping along the river sounds like a really dangerous idea. All that said, I am desperately hoping for rain, and lots of it. When the possibility of flooding comes when a few of your favorite streams are a series of pools seperated by expanses of bare gravel, it's hard to think of that as being all bad. We will see if it actually hits us. We've been a bit unfortunate at times when it comes to storm systems that seem to be obviously headed our way somehow dissipating just before they get here, or changing course at the last second. I'm not counting on anything until I see the rain falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne SW/MO Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 O'boy I have a couple of tall trees right at the house, a chinquapin oak and a cedar, plus a couple of big red oaks about 75' SW of the house. All of them are hanging on to 6" of topsoil. In my immediate there are always a few big trees that come down when there is heavy rain with high winds.

moguy1973 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 He's here!!! Looks like south central MO is getting a pretty good dousing. Moving awfully fast though to really make much of a dent in the drought. -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
