- At 311 PM CDT, automated river gauges and ground-truth reports
from observers indicated that minor flooding continued along the
Little Blue River and Big Sandy Creek, as a result of heavy
rainfall over the last few days. At 215 PM CDT, a gauge along the
Little Blue River at Hebron reported a stage of 14.6 feet, which
was 1.1 feet above minor flood stage of 13.5 feet. As a result,
minor flooding continues both upstream and downstream of Hebron
along the Little Blue through Thayer County. In addition, at 245
PM CDT, a gauge along the Big Sandy Creek near Alexandria
reported a stage of 14.6 feet, just above moderate flood stage of
14.5 feet. As a result, at least minor flooding continues along
the Big Sandy through northeastern Thayer County, including near
Highway 53 just south of Alexandria. Going forward, water levels
along the Little Blue River and Big Sandy Creek are expected to
very slow fall over the next 24 hours, but could remain above
minor flood stage until at least sometime Friday. However, exact
timing of when they will fall below flood stage is a bit
uncertain as upstream water will continue feeding into the area
from the west.
- This includes the following streams and drainages...
Dry Creek, South Fork Big Sandy Creek, Little Blue River, Little
Sandy Creek, Oak Creek, Walnut Creek, Elk Creek, Turtle Creek,
Spring Creek, Dry Sandy Creek and Big Sandy Creek.
