I just checked the Corps of Engineers website...as of 3 p.m. Mark Twain Lake
was at 640.09 feet.
I have NEVER seen it get this high before...mind you, normal pool is 606 feet.
Amazing. I sure hope everything works out and they can tame this beast.

Hey Cachers!
It is water, water everywhere. Definitely not a
good time to cache in Monroe, northern Boone or Ralls County. The Corps is
fighting to save Cannon Dam at this point and there is more rain to the
north and more predicted for later tonight.
Many of the caches Jo and I hid are surely under
water since even the roads are under water and many closings are in effect. I
felt sorry for those of you with caches along the Meremec, etc., but never
imagined we would have this much water and be in the same
situation.
We will get them cleaned up and back as soon as the
water goes down and we can assess which are in need of TLC. In the meantime,
forget about this neck of the woods. (Actually, in many directions you can't
even get here.)
To drier days....
Libby
