Title: Buder Park Flooding Again!
Post by: the original Steve Smith on May 01, 2019, 09:25:41 PM
Just looked at the gauge for Valley Park Missouri which is where Buder Park is located.  Predicting a crest of 24.9 feet on Sunday night.  Park floods at 19 feet.  More mud to clean off the square pad, donut, and speed circle I guess.  Bummer. :'(

    Hey Steve-O!
     At 24 feet, I don't think it will quite get there. At 19 feet, it just starts getting into the lower end of the park and the east end. I think it needs to get to 26 feet before it covers anything at the circles, and at that, it won't leave much behind.. It better not! I wanna go flying REAL BAD!!! Club picnic is Sunday!
  Type at you later,

I can't remember an Autumn, Winter, and now Spring, that has been such a soaker as here where I live. We're currently in our 3rd day of rains and according to the weather forecast, it's to rain into the weekend, have a short reprieve, then back at it again for several days. We're beginning to see flooding here already.

We are into day three of the monsoon here in the KC area.  Had a few hour reprieve yesterday so got the flat tire changed on the mower to mow the circle.  Glad we got the center pad in just before all this last weekend.  They closed part of one major road here and the small streams...aren't so small.  Flash flood warnings ongoing.

Drove down to check on the circle yesterday.  One field had water getting into the main road but not bad.   Been wanting to go try out the center pad but I guess Mother Nature has other ideas.  But in a few weeks we will be wanting rain.  As some one once said to me watch what you ask for.  But this is central America and Dad always said if you want rain or dry weather just wait a few days.   D>K
