There were a mere five (5) - 24 hour periods/days without rain in the metro Kansas City, MO area, in the month of May and continuous rain for the month of June!
look what mark posted.
For the uninitiated, those flood gates are only open 10%
tonight’s storm probably has now doubled the flow from this afternoon and I be the spillway at Truman has to be running now.
Thankfully the drought only lasted a few years and started to recover last year.
We did have drought conditions recently. 2012 was bloody hot and dry. Some areas of MO recovered faster and there was some areas that were still at risk to go back to drought conditions even just a few months ago.
