From what I understand, woodstock is one of the highest points on the river in that area. I would hate to lose all of those big deer we have raised for years. I guess we will find out pretty soon.

Its been my experience that the deer will swim out to higher ground and come right back when it goes down. My club is one of the lowest around and we flood nearly every year. We have a pile of deer. Now on some islands and places they might not be able to find any higher ground before they drown. I got a feeling that this flood is gonna take awhile to overcome. I always heard my old man say that the 73 flood changed the woods a lot. If this is several feet higher, then who knows.

Dr. Swinestine has undergone a little "restructuring". Clint went and built a 26 foot enclosed bad booty trailer and is doing his own thing and kept the name. Me and Swain got the old trailer and like to drink and dont care if it burns. Your welcome to come get it if you want. It needs a new tire and a pressure washing and you'd look the part. No *!@#@* come get it. You gotta put the tire on thou, and clean it up!

UHHHH we are inside the levees The river is OUTSIDE the levees! Yea I would say it's definately going to effect all lands outside the levee!

Most everything in the south delta is getting some water on it now. Appx 87 ft MSL at the south end now. Theres prolly already 100k plus acres under water in the south delta now.

Now as far as you people trying to guess wether or not a certian river stage MIGHT get you or not why dont you simply have your elevations shot? No guessing then. 48 fett on and old AR City guage 3 years ago I can bet you won't be the same today! Use their conversion factors to find out the MSL levels for your area then you will know.


EX: Helena 0 nav is 141.7
take that figure then add it to the projected crest and you have the elevation in MSL that it will cover or reach.
AR City is now 96.7
Greenville is 74.9
Vicksburg is 46.2

So if you are in the Greenville area say on Woodstock and Greenvill is expecting a 60 ft river then everything under 140ft land elevation in that vicinity will be under water! Don't think there is much land on any of those islands that high!

Arkansas City is projected to crest at 48.5 + 96.66 (gauge elevation) + 10 (1/2' * 20 miles) = 155.1 ft

We were looking at some LIDAR elevation data for merigold yesterday, there will be a few ridges out but not much...

Catfish would be about 20 miles south of Ark City guage (it's near Rosedale)

When it gets real high, Dan P. take me some pictures for me. i don't imagine the culverts at Wolf lake are a concern right now huh! My phone will ring this winter though. Too low, too high!!
