Just to illustrate how massive this flood on the Marais des Cygnes really is- the 9 am flow comparison of the Missouri River at the Hannibal Bridge in Kansas City- stage of 12.04 feet and flowing past the gage at a rate of 51400 cubic feet per second (cfs).
Almost 50 miles due south also near the Kansas-Missouri state line southeast of Trading Post-KS- the Marais des Cygnes River's flow was more than 3 times the rate of the Missouri: 156000 cfs and a stage of 38.82 feet - and rising.
