My dad took us out to Tuttle to watch them flood gates open for the first time. We saw all sorts of fish just flopping about.

They need to get rid of some blue green algae first. Then knock down a few water sheds and let Cross Creek roll on it's own again. And then stop people from building in a flood plain.

In the ‘40s & ‘50s people built cabins along the Meramac in south St. Louis county. Mostly on ten twelve foot stilts. Then in the ‘60s, put in trailer parks and subdivisions. Came the rains in ‘73 (?), all that flooded from Eureka down to the river’s mouth on the Mississippi.

Thunder storms rolling through. Thought I was seeing things with the lightning reflection in my glasses.

Worked in my old stompin grounds in 1993. They had a 10 mile wide "lake" from the foot of the hill in Carrollton, MO south to Waverly, MO for weeks and weeks. The cemeteries had caskets popping out of the soaked ground and floating away. All the businesses that I remember growing up at the foot of the hill going south turned into a ghost town after that 500-year flood.

Whenever I see a bursting river just flushing downstream, I see a *s-wordload of wasted water that could be used for all sorts of good stuff..
I’d build dams and make lakes all over the place..
I’d love to make an irrigation lake up at the 40..

Bout 2.5 acres would work.

Fish fish fish....

And water for the pasture in August.

Then after 30 years they fill themselves in with silt.
