The Great Flood of the Missouri River, 2011
Pretty dramatic pictures if anyone is interested. I took these from the RV-12. The viability of the -12 makes for a fairly good photo platform, but I need to build a photo port!
I-29 near Omaha will be closed until August.

Be advised there are currently 2 TFR's between Omaha, NE and Gavin's Point Dam, SD.
Hamburg, IA had a levy breach and the town is being evacuated right now. This is a real disaster for the midwest that will last many years to come.

That is unreal the amount of water flowing down that river. Here in Arkansas they are releasing 58,000 cubic feet of water per second from the Table Rock Dam and flooding everything in its path down stream.
Thanks for posting pictures.

I also saw them a couple of hours ago, now I get this...
Oops... there's nothing to see here. Either you do not have access to these photos, or they don't exist at this web address. Please contact the owner directly to gain access

Sorry one and all! Pilot error! I changed the title in Picasa and that made the link bad.

I have gotten several calls and e-mails from news sources and others asking my permission to use the pictures. Help yourself, I cannot take compensation anyway!

The Army Corps of Engineers is currently releasing 150,000 cubic feet per second right now from Gavin's Poin Dam near Yankton, SD. That is 1,122,000 gallons per second. The water has to go somewhere.
I think Vans needs a float option for the -12.

Why not? Nobody hired you or the plane to go take some pictures.

We flew over some of that same area south of Omaha late last week on our way up to Minnesota Larry - didn't see as much of the river as you did, but what we did see was way out of the banks. The thunderstorms we were dodging obviously weren't helping things any....
Great pics - good mission!
