The mighty Missouri

Are they still letting so much water out at the river dams or has it calmed down any? Don't hear anything about that at all down here in the south. It's so dry down here that all summer we seldom had humidity over 40% and mostly in the 20 to 30% range. Nothing like being 15 inches of rain behind this year nd at least that much last year.

They have drastically cut back on the release of water and things are getting back to where they use to be. At least on Oahe and Sharpe, I haven't been farther south so I can't speak for down there.  On the news, they've been saying people can return to their homes in the Dakota Dunes area.

 Severe flooding in the spring and early summer has turned to being VERY dry this fall, with the strong winds today I can smell smoke in the air from all the grass fires. Things change fast in this part of the country

speaking of the smoke, they've asked farmers to hold off combining because of the wind.  I was in Huron today and was told there had been 21 fire calls by 11am.  Fish also get a break today, you'd be nuts to take a boat out in this.

There have been so many fires in northern LA and East TX that some of the volunteer firemen were getting fired from their real jobs because of spending to much time fighting fires.

Heh, I spent 3 week in June at LP and was amazed at how cold it was. Shouldn't have to be wearing a long sleeve shirt and down vest in the middle of june. Down here we set new records for days over 100, I lost track but it was over 58 days the other day. Normal is about 9 or 10. Wells are drying up, reservoirs are drying up and towns are running out of water. Hay is being brought in from as far away as Washington state and Indiana and Ohio. A lot of the spots I used to fish in are now dry land. To bad it was so muddy underneath or I could have picked up a fortune in tackle.

Glad to hear the people at Dakota Dunes finally got to go back. I remember it flooded a few times when the dog track was there. Lol, I'll bet more than a few didn't even know there used to be a dog racing track there. Good old Sodrac Park greyhound racing made me a few bucks. Couldn't pick horses but I could pick dogs. Don't even know if the horse track is still there.

I bet those employers will feel really small when the person they fired for volunteering shows up to help with their personal emergency.
