Keep an eye on the Mississippi River

Projected to rise 15’ in the next week and a half. Could go higher if that storm hangs around

BS because if that were true then all levees would be topped and break open, end of world destruction of biblical scale.
your 15ft of rise is a typo and they meant 15" rise, as in you wont even notice it

Come on Chicken Little, do you seriously believe that enough to make a post to this group????
I'm on the river a couple times a month and all it's been doing is going down and no amount of rain from a storm on the east coast, if that's what you're implying, is going to affect the water level in a mid continent river.

He may have his info wrong, but a 15’ rise is not abnormal for the river and would not be of “biblical level”. The river normal swings ~ 20ft from winter-late summer.

Kind of odd this time of the year though

Exactly. Due to the normal springtime snow and ice melt up north making its way to the Gulf of Mexico. This storm is not going to dump enough rain to make the river rise anywhere near that much----especially since it came in on the east coast, far from the Mississippi river and most of its tributaries.

Dude snow and ice melt happened way back in March. We’re six months later. I have a camp on Old River since 1964. This is very much out of the ordinary for this time of year. River is normally very low now

"In survival mode": 500-year rains leave much of Midwest underwater
Much of the Midwest is underwater from relentless rain storms, as Tropical Storm Gordon pounds South Florida and the Keys with high winds and up to five inches of rain.
The rains were a once-in-500-year event that quickly turned towns into lakes in Riley County, Kansas.
Wisconsin is seeing its second-wettest August on record with emergency officials putting the damage at $44 million.

i lived on the east side of the levee south of br for a while and after that storm that hit new york and shite the river rose a good bit

It aint from this storm. Apparently, there has been a lot of rain in the Ohio River Valley. I watch the Natchez gauge, and there was a 1.3' rise overnight, there is supposed to be a 2.3' overnight tonight, and 3' tomorrow night and it is supposed to keep rising.

No shite. I know the melt was in the spring months. I fish the Mississippi river a couple times a month and have watched it go down to the level it was just last week when I was out on the banks wetting lines.
Early summer the water was up several feet against the levee where I fish and now I have to walk over 100 yards through the batture to get to the river's edge and have watched it go steadily down for the past few months.

I haven't seen the projections yet, but...when this storm tracks north and starts dumping prodigious amounts of rain in western North Carolina, East Tennessee, SW Virginia, Kentucky, and the state of West Virginia, all that water eventually drains to the Clinch River, Cumberland River, Tennessee River, Ohio River and then...on to the Mississippi.

This.
I had no idea but I spoke to a customer of mine in Pittsburgh the other day and he said they’ve been fighting high water on the Ohio River for a few weeks now. Was news to me.
All that water is coming down this way along with whatever Flo releases

Uh, the river is forecasted to rise ~15’. It happens all the time. More rain up north could make it rise more. This thread is weird.

Got one too out there. And yes, not normal, but I think they are releasing a lot of water up north.
