Well, the Missouri River is doing it's best to leave the riverbed and wander where it wants in Omaha and surrounding areas. They are closing parts of I-29 North of Council Bluffs, IA as the water is up to the shoulder. It's making things interesting for sure.

 

A few shots of the river around the downtown area.

And the sad thing is there is nothing any one can do about it. Mother nature rules the roost

This one is not mother natures doing. The Missouri river dams should have been lowered all winter once the snow started falling at record amounts. The Army Corp of Engineers have had to make releases in the last week to bring the levels down in the dams above Omaha. From a previous high of 59,000 Cubic Feet per Second to 150,000 CFS.

I agree with ya about the releases. I live up in northeast SD, and we see it all the time. The big problem is not only the record snowmelt, but ND and Montana had some serious rainfall this spring. You can go on you tube and search Oahe Dam, Pierre SD flooding, Gavins Point Dam, all have some serious water vids as well. They say all the water in Pierre etc, will be a summer long deal. It isnt going to end anytime soon either.

If you recall there has been serious flooding along the Mississippi, which is where the Missouri feeds into.
