The Mighty MO is Raging!

I really have no words to describe what I witnessed this morning on my way to check on the Lodge. The devastation from the winds in Grant yesterday was surprisingly understated by the news channels and the amount of water is almost unfathomable. In the hour I was at the lodge I witnessed the river level rise over 1 foot. That’s a lot of water! As I write this the water level is currently at 11.78ft and still rising. Last year the highest the river got was 11.11.

All this goes without saying that the river is currently unsafe and all boat launches have been closed by county officials. They are also beginning the evacuation process for people with homes in the lower areas. Please keep these folks in your thoughts and prayers as the go through major flooding for the second year in a row.
