Where you see red squares the river is at 98% of flood stage OR ABOVE FLOOD STAGE. Omaha is a red square. http://www.nwd-mr.usace.army.mil/rcc/gages/gagestatne.html [/quote] Omaha is almost 6 ft. above flood stage if you can trust the hydrographs..it's almost at 35 ft..flood stage is 29 ft. http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=oax&gage=omhn1&view=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1%22 Blair/ Ft Calhoun is supposedly about 4 ft. above flood stage and is still under a flood warning http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=oax&gage=blan1&view=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1%22 Brownville/Cooper is supposedly over 5 ft. above flood stage is under a flood warning and is [b]still[/b] operating at full capacity as it has been since it was probably hit by a flash flood on June 23 http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1540175/pg1 http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=oax&gage=bron1&view=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1%22 [/quote] I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that the high water levels are a problem; whether it's getting better or worse is the question. Real-time Data for Nebraska Streamflow http://waterdata.usgs.gov/ne/nwis/current/?type=intro&group_key=basin_cd [/quote] I think the biggest question I have at this point is that the berms around Ft Calhoun collapsed on June 25th..the Satellite image from that day shows[b] much[/b] less water imo then the image I posted from June 28 (three days later) like I said earlier I'm questioning why the Satellite images have missing info..(can't trust them) I sort of hinted at not trusting the 'official' hydrographs (Can't trust them) or basically any info that 'officially' comes from the gooberment (can't trust them) about the only thing I do trust is my own senses.. [/quote] The Missouri river at Omaha is dropping very slowing-about a 1/10 of an inch a day-if they choke the flow from Gavins Point, it will begin to drop more rapidly. They have shut down air traffic over the power plants so we will not be seeing any updates from news helicopters. The National Guard has been pulled off the levies-[b]with the heat, they will want to keep the plant running full out.[/b] Hopefully everything will be alright. [/quote] when I started the following thread about Cooper on June 19th it was running full out.. http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1535037/pg1 now..check out the Satellite image from that day..(June 19th) http://ge.ssec.wisc.edu/modis-today/index.php?satellite=t1&product=false_color&date=2011_06_19_170&overlay_sector=false&overlay_state=true&overlay_coastline=true§or=USA3&resolution=2000m something ain't quite right about that picture imo.. also.. all the coal powered plants in that area were also supposedly flooding at that time..

Original Message
there's been an almost total news blackout regarding the flooding around the Nebraska Nuke plants..The last 'real' news that came out regarding the flooding that I know of came out on July 9th when this was predicted:
(snip)
"The Corps predicts that the river will eventually rise high enough to flow over some 18 to 70 levees, mostly in rural areas of southeast Nebraska, southwest Iowa and Missouri Other levees will become saturated, and water can erode their foundations, seep underneath or find other flaws to exploit."

Ft Calhoun and Cooper NPS are both located in SE Nebraska..
I was sort of surprised to discover that by comparing before and 'after' Satellite images that it appears the flooding hasn't gotten better at all and may have even become worse..
the pictures at the following link show just how bad the flooding was there in late June.

^^note: has
not
been updated since June
here's a Satellite image from June 28..
and one from yesterday 8-6..
6-28 enlarged..
8-6 enlarged..
if you go though the images day by day starting from around June 23rd you'll probably see apparent inconsistencies and many days where it's showing no flooding at all

to go to a different day just click next day/previous
to enlarge: click 1000m (large) 250m (larger)
I think the inconsistency and missing information is done deliberately to made it harder for anyone to arrive at a
definite
conclusion..I had the same problem in one of my other threads where the images were blatantly altered imo
Here's the flooding forecast for the area for the next 5 days which is not looking promising imo..
[

the strange thing about that forecast imo is that it's showing no flooding in and around Omaha but massive flooding just to the N and S
