The Mississippi around New Madrid fault zone going dry?

[jdmidwest]

Plenty of rain up north.  Wing dikes at Chester were under water today, sticking out a few weeks ago when I crossed.

Here's another one for ya.   Right here close to home we currently have 1169cfs leaving Bagnell dam, and 1/2 mile below it the USGS guage reads 721cfs.

Are we loosing water underground .....or is the guage bad?    I seldom follow river guages by "CFS" for this reason.    A simple river level guage eliminates the faulty math.   What's the point of measuring river flow in cubic feet per second if the resultant readings are bogus?

All of the toilets flushing near the dam skews the reading, then the turds start clogging up down below.

Im not gonna lie, I would have done the same thing with that hitch.

Missouri River flow doubled this week.  One day you can island hop, two days later they are gone. 

Mississippi level is way above statistical average. 

Did they legalize weed down there?

I've seen this pic floating around for a couple of years now. 

Why he didn't put the ball on the bumper, I don't know. 

But there is no receiver on that truck so he made it work.
