Flooding has forced more evacuations in northwest Missouri.

The Atchison County Commission issued an immediate mandatory evacuation Friday for areas west of I-29 due to the threat flooding.

The Missouri River at Brownville, NE is approaching record levels.

As of Friday afternoon, the river is at 44.49 feet just shy of the record crest of 44.8 set in 2011.

The river is expected to crest at 48 feet on Sunday.

Near-record level flooding has also forced the shutdown of I-29 at the Missouri/Iowa border.

Interstate 29 at Rock Port exit 110 is closed due to flooding in Iowa.

The Missouri Department of Transportation said drivers wanting to use I-29 northbound should use I-35 and then I-80 into Iowa.

It's obvious there are way too many ****tarded truck drivers on the road though. A small blacktop caught a serious flow of truckers who jumped on their phones to find their own detours instead of using the suggested loop. The blacktop isn't even wide enough for two trucks to meet head to head in many places putting multiple trucks in the ditches and at least two crashed blocking the lanes. Multiple tubes are starting to collapse under the constant weights and speeds. One truck even managed to dump it's load of 2" rock on a blacktop.

Multiple rigs tried to use flooded gravel roads and firmly parked themselves right in the middle of them. The tow bills on these trucks in bfe are MASSIVE.

Had this conversation the other day about how if it just keeps raining it's going to be 1993 again.

We sold our farm in Craig after '98. Best decision.

On Friday, I had to turn around on 59 just south of Tarkio. Water was over the road for a couple hundred yards. The river crossing just before that was sketchy as hell. I was glad to be out of a low lying area.

I drove through there last week on Tuesday to get to Lincoln. They had Hwy 2 open one lane in each direction, but we're only able to do it by building up the road. They used gravel and compacted it down. You could only go 25 mph over that section.

I spent the end of my week in Omaha so I drove down 29. 2 was still open at that point but it ended up closing down with all of the rain. It's a mess there.

Is highway 75 closed anywhere between Topeka and Omaha?

The Corp has already announced the flooding will be worse than March.

Missouri river in central Missouri. You could pick out several towns along it and find similar pics. A few of the towns had given up the pumping fight and suggested evacuation along with killing power and water as it moved in. Brunswick is one of the smaller towns where the railroad, the national guard, and a lot of volunteers built temporary levys and sandbag berms to try to hold it off but eventually they had too many big levy breaks to manage the rise.

The Core better hope a bus load of crazy Missouri river rats don't decide to load up and pay them a visit. That 75,000 cubic foot of water per second being released up stream isn't helping things.
