Had a little scare yesterday. It was reported that a small boil (water seeping through the levee from river side to the dry side) had developed on Desoto. Don't know wether it was an old tube or an animal hole, but the group that is watching and maintaining it got it patched and it is holding for now. That will be the norm for the next 3 months.....trying to hold the levee system together by the efforts of many people in our community. Despite their heroic efforts I am concerned about the unprecedented flow and duration of flow. Also wave action from a very wide Missouri River will keep eroding at these dikes as time passes.
There has been breeches around Hamburg about 50 miles south of us. River levels are leveling out for now.
