Speaking of things not fun to wake up to, at 6:30 this morning I was sound asleep when a flash of light and what sounded like a 500 lb bomb exploding woke us up. Pretty sure it hit one of the transformer boxes because now the power is out at our house and the houses around our cul-de-sac. We got an alert from Alabama power right after that they’ve detected the outage and their “estimated” repair time is 9:30 AM. Is 8:00 now and I still haven’t seen an Alabama Power truck.

Scared the hell out of us. We initially thought the lighting had hit our house.

That's a whole lot of water that now has to go somewhere.

Been a rough spring so far, especially for northern Arkansas and southern Missouri.

Bakersfield, MO got an EF3 tornado, fires, and flooding, all within a couple of weeks.

West Plains, MO has had numerous tornadoes in the area and is now flooded.

Diaz, AR is damaged heavily, as are Cave City, AR and Lake City, AR.

Then you also have multiple areas in the region still trying to recover from EF3 tornadoes last spring.

Looks rough for some parts of Kentucky. 28 years since last major flood and 6 more feet before cresting.

1. 56.85 ft on 01-26-1937
2. 53.60 ft on 03-06-1997

Flood Impacts ??
54 - Low lying roads near the river along and west of KY 355 flood.
51 - More than half of Monterey floods. Water is four feet deep in homes closest to the river. Water is up to two feet deep on Taylor St. Flooding may occur in low lying buildings along Crittenden Street in Gratz.

Yeah it’s pretty nasty right now. They’ve got the sandbags out in Frankfort for fear that the water is going to get up over the flood walls.

I’ll never forget the shot ton of rain we got in Monroe spring of 16. It was surreal driving around and seeing water like that.

Flood Stages Question-

The rain is currently moving through GA and I'm monitoring my local NWS/NOAA stream gauge for my local creek.

There are 4 levels of flood on the graph-

1- Action
2- Minor
3- Moderate
4- Major

My stream gauge is in the "Action" zone. What does this mean?

I had no idea, but good ol' Wikipedia came through for me:

quote:

Action Stage

Rivers: typically at this level, the water surface is generally near or slightly above the top of its banks, but no man-made structures are flooded; typically any water overflowing is limited to small areas of parkland or marshland.




It has the definitions/standards of the others, as well
