In the past few days there is alot of flooding going on along the missouri River from Montana all the way down to St louis.
Here are just a few pictures from North Dakota.
Garrison Dam This is the hydroelectric intake

Here's a picture of the spillway.

Here's a picture of the spillway a few years back No water.
The dam was about 30ft down.

Here's another picture of the same place the spillway.

Here's a picture taken from a airplace that checks the river.

Some more plane pictures.(Bismark North Dakota)

You can see in this picture that the dam is really full. Hydroelectric plant is releasing a lot of water.

So anyone that is living along the missouri River tell us how is is there.

Here's a picture of the spillway. A few of the gates are open. All of the gates will open later there will be a lot of water coming out. Just inagine 150,000 cubit feet per second will be coming out.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to god. And
The peace of god, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

In Omaha, a couple of city parks are closed due to flooding. The river is higher than flood stage, but no disaster is expected.....Fortunately, most of the city is above the flood level..

I've lived in Kansas City, Jefferson City and St. Charles MO. I just keep moving east along the river.
St. Charles is now about 1.5 feet over flood stage, so minor flooding at this point. Jefferson City no longer has a flood warning, so looking good. Kansas City is expecting 4 feet over flood stage at Sibley, so not too bad.
Thankful that there is nothing like the floods of 1993.

History was made when the spillway opened opening only 4 gates. Later this month all 28 gates will open. letting out 150,000 cubic feet per second. Wow!!!!! It was 60 years when the spillway was last opened. That is when it was being built.

The pictures are amazing. So much water. The one where the lake is nearly dry looks so strange when you compare it to the one where the lake is so full.

Currently working on a boys quilt. Sized 40 x 40 inches. It has chickens, chicken eggs, cows, fish, sea life, afield with water, Dachshunds, mini sailboats, and many colorful other fabrics. The blocks are a 4 x 4 finished size, so many of them are needed.
This my 4th quilt in 7 months.

You guys stay safe and get some bottled water for yourselves to keep on hand should things get really bad. Last year we had bad flooding and didn't have water for a week. I felt very lucky that it was only a week, and that so many area business stepped up to donate free bottled water. It's difficult to manage a 2 year old on a 1-2 gallon of water per day usage limit.
