I don't think this is up to date.  But it doesn't look like we're going to get much.

Come over my way if you need a shot of water or 2.  NWS is calling for Historical Flooding here, 12" possible before it moves out Sat. nite.  We are at about 2" before the deluge started a few hours ago.

MSHP moved water rescue units to Poplar Bluff today to rescue the ones that need it. 

I pulled jet boat and truck off farm Tuesday Night and put my 4 Runner back there in case it blows the bridge out.  I can bushwhack out the back for a while if I need to.

It hasn't been too bad here, took a ride yesterday afternoon, Little Sugar is up but not out of its banks.  Radar showing a lot of rain to the east, south, and southwest and I'm guessing some of that will move up here.

As of 0600 today have had just a tad over 5'' here in Hillsboro area, 25 miles south of St Louis.

It's started here again, wind, rain, lightning.

Using my back yard as a gauge, I have a creek runoff pond behind me, it is not horrible yet.   Yesterday the creek was up 6 or 7 feet higher than Thursday morning. The creek had turned from a bit dingy to full on churned up chocolate milk.

Thanks - looks to be a little over 3" in the last 24.

That's added onto already flood conditions. And the karst is pumping out all that has fallen over the past week. L Sugar was at ~70CFS prior to the rain hit ~3200CFS Fri afternoon to Sat noon and dropped to ~2100CFS before this rain runs into it. Given that it has been over 20,000, it's not too bad yet. I am trapped at home by several dry ditches that are carrying a couple hundred CFS each. and that will be the case until a day after the rain stops, so I'm willing to call it off at any time. Elk went from about 225CFS to about 14,200 over the past couple days too
