Anyone hear any news of flooding along the Katy? The news reports don't supply very much information.
A group of friends and I plan to stay in Rocheport's Katy Trail Bed & Bikefest, and I know that area experienced huge problems in '93.
Am also concerned about the DNR ride coming up. Memories of how I wiped out on one little washed-out section are haunting me a little! I don't want to cause a multi-bike pileup-- maybe I should practice by off-road biking a little! :)

The link below is for the National Weather Service Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service river information at Boonville. We became pretty familiar with this site earlier in the week when we were at risk here in St. Joe.

If you click on Downstream Gauge, the next town that takes floodstage readings is Jefferson City. There are several listings for the Katy and when it floods.

Everything I know about the flood situation is on the home page. If anyone knows any more, please pass it along.

Hi all. Rocheport is high & dry. The anticipated flooding did not occur. Our B&B (Katy Trail B&B) is open for biz as is the rest of town -- rememeber 99.9% of our town is up and out of the flood plain. All of our restaurants, B&Bs and other shops and businesses including Trailside Cafe have been unaffected by the recent river rise. Come see us! ~Brett
