Today I went out to see some of the flooding on the mighty Missouri. Started off by going to Gavins Point Dam in Yankton. We got there just after the increased the release to 130,000 CFS. The waves were so powerful they were splashing the people that were on the parking lot right next to the gates. I was one of those people that got wet. After that we traveled upstream to the Springfield Marina. The main road is closed so they widened the bike path for lookers to see the water. The water has already covered one of the concrete slabs where one of the cabins was. The bay was filled with cat tails, see bottom picture.
