[blacksheep10]

So we just had 11" here, but south of us (paul and wyatt will know these highways) they had 9" in 9 hours and 69, 169, 54, 52, 152, 68 and other highways are all closed. people are stuck in FT Scott. Ottawa is mostly closed and the floodgates are closed. OZ is getting evacuated. NICE. We are almost over the road south of my parents house, another 10" and its over. its about 3' deep across 311 by the cemetery Its fawking deep as **** everywhere. Our neighbor just south of here has 6' of water in their driveway way to plan ahead on that one.

CNN said Osawatomie was being evacuated. Talked to Cami. The police called her to make sure her bank was secure. They are estimating the crest to be at 49'. Which is well above the levee's. Oz is fixing to look like New orleans after Katrina.

Time to start looting!

Time to start looting!

That would be scraping the bottom of the barrel looting. What steal your neighbors meth lab starter kit?

 

[blacksheep10]

Oz is the shithole armpit of the county

send a little of that **** my way, it has not rained at my house in 7 weeks! no kidding I've only cut grass twice this ****ing year
everything is dead garden is a total waste.

 

[blacksheep10]

would gladly give some up. we got 19" just south of me over that 4 day shower, like 14" here was the total tally. roads everywhere are ****ed. the town south of me, Oz, where michelle works, is pretty much gone.

They'll probably show it on the news as soon as they get finished slobbering all over Paris! :

 

[P]

Is OZ completely under ???

What about Mrs Beaver ?!!!!

 

[blacksheep10]

Ms. Cooter, you mean flossie? I hope she floated out
the whole south half is under. the apartments on the south end of town are up to the second story gutters. the north end of town is wet, and the Y is high and dry, so, unfortunately, michelle's work is still open.

These aren't my sisters but she sent them to me tonight. She said she took several hundred with her Canon and she said she got some awesome ones. Apparently Union Pacific wasn't able to get some loco's out of the Oz yard so she was down there shooting 1/4 submerged engines. As well as got some other swesome shots. Hopefully she downloaded tonight and I can get them up in the next day. Glad I dont live in Oz. Sucks. I know all of these places.

From my sister's forward:
"The first several are of Osawatomie as seen from Highway 169, Potawatomie Creek
which you may have heard breached its levee on the south side of OZ is or was
about 3-4 from the top of the bridge overpass on Hwy 169. The Marias Des Cyne
was almost as close to the bridge overpass on the highway. The dams in Oz are
all at their weakest and the National Guard was there trying to get people
rounded up and out and help keep the dams from breaking. They said there was
still water heading down this way to Oz as well as to LaCygne from the flood
gates at Pomona that were to have been let out however we also heard that one of
Pomona's dams broke so not for sure how much more water is headed this way or
how much of that is rumor. Anyway the middle half pictures are those as seen
from Hwy 152 West going towards LaCygne. The gates are all closed and the water
there has risen about 2+ ft. since 11 a.m. In one picture you can see a huge
tree log wedged in the middle of the highway and the water just rushing in all
its fury on the other side. The water was really moving and I would hate to have
been caught up in it The last several pictures are of Linn Co. N 1095 road
going North to Paola, more water!!! However that hasn't flooded over or been
that bad since the 50's or 60's we were told when they had a big flood. So
basically where we are at Fontana, only has one way in or out and that is to go
7 hwy to 169 hwy however if 169 is closed we can't north."

Heres some of Cami's she sent them too me right after I uploaded those others. They let her go anywhere apparently. I still can't believe water came over the top of the levee's on the southside of town. That is just crazy!
