These are not even remotely similar to each other!

And I mean dear Lord save us from the major flood,,,,, errrr wait I mean moderate flood ahhhhh.... hang on a sec I mean I guess minor flood rolling through great falls right now!
She's at 1612.3 heading for at least 1616 (as far as the perdiction went but still rising at the end.) Record is 1618.3 So effectively the same as Sak as pertaining to available vertical room. . Releases are scheduled to get to 44,000 vs the 59,300 in 97 that took out the smelt.
I'm not overlooking it I know exactly where we're at and know it's exactly where we were in 97! Realty is I am literally sitting in the flood zone right now as I type this so I have a dog in this hunt and that dog says the corp is doing a pretty good job. And as far as the new Master operational...
Well yeah they're notoriously not the best forecasters ever. But let's be realistic here they're going to have the Missouri River at the second highest outflows they've ever had it from that dam in the history of that dam and that's still 1.5 ft below the BOTTOM edge of flood stage. Tell me of...
I'm talking more about about the area before the T. Will make getting to the river tough especially since knowing the game and fish they will probably shut the main gate.
Game and fish reported a noticeable lack of breeding of geese this year in their may survey so it's definitely not just a localized thing.

Yeah when honker's Nest fail they give up. they only give it one shot so if they fail they end up piling up right about now and...
Lost allot around here when the river came up but on other bodies of water they are at normal levels. late snow storms tend to be the thing to get them the most around here. the storms have a tendency to hit right when the geese are laying their eggs and not sitting on them so the nest end up...
That argument makes literally no sense! So because there are so many people tubing on that Lake they shouldn't be allowed to tube on that late because there's too many of them? The people recruiting on that Lake are doing so for tubing and skiing and booze cruising and for basically no other...
People built on that lake so they could go tubing and skiing and riding jet skis. You can't legislate away all accident it's impossible and stupid to even try. Sometimes shit goes wrong and accidents happen! The reality is a lot of you sound like anti-gun people saying we should get rid of jet...
Have you ever seen that lake? Small bay that lake is a small bay! Hell it's widest spot is only like 400 yards so not exactly any room to spare in that tiny little lake.
Well here's another one for the pile. Nice little bull sitting just Southwest of the University of Mary campus at 1 this afternoon. Sure would be nice to get a good chunk of elk to move much better ground! I personally would love to see the bottoms up to huff Hills and the Heart River Gorge that...
Well considering all the sandbagging being done was for private residence and not some sort of city flood wall people are going to come and go when they do. But as far as stupid flood walls go nothing beats the hay bale dykes. seriously takes a genius to put something that floats out to keep you...
Well I for one will take an occasional flood to the 2011 level over running the lakes way to low and drying them up 3 out of 5 years.

Don't know if hogg did but I know fox did! Then got all pissy when the road was going to be raised in front of their homes.
Yeah but seriously the corps of engineer should have known this was coming ...last year even and run the river super high all last summer to make sure they had room for this year. they probably should have turned up the releases as soon as they could this spring as well.....oh shit wait that's...
What do you mean it would have failed? It did flood and it didn't fail! So unless your talking individual sandbagging efforts which have always been quite comical here since people don't seem to realize sandbags themselves or not a flood barrier or trying to make a levi out of things that float...
What they let out of oahe has no baring on river levels unless oahe is full and even then she only backs up to around Washington Street. Downhill is downhill and they are only letting out between 35 and 38,000 from her but she is far to low to have any effect on Bismarck. Hell shes got to flood...
Actually no it's 35,000 on there. ;:;boozer

Yeah oahes intake is in the middle column of the water versus Sakakaweas down at the bottom so oahe is far more prone to sucking smelt out of itself. Luckily the forage base in oahe is getting more diverse every year and that is...
