Nearly five inches of rain fell in the overnight hours of July 3, causing flash flooding and power interruptions, and damaging county roads. Another inch and a half fell the following night.
Major flooding of Salt Creek (seen right) occurred where County Roads 448 and 467 meet in southern Howard County near New Franklin.
Howard County Western District Commissioner Mat Freese said there was quite a bit of washing out of gravel roads, particularly in the southeast portions of the county, but floods didn’t damage anything that can’t be repaired.
“It took a lot gravel off a lot of roads,” he said.
Freese anticipated that damages will not be significant enough for the county to receive any rescue funds from the State Emergency Management Agency. “I doubt we will be able to reach that threshold,” he said.
Additionally, water was reported over a few blacktops, including Route Z near the Old Franklin river bottoms.
The Missouri River at Boonville crested at 26.82 feet midday on Friday, July 5, and 30.15 feet at Glasgow shortly after midnight on Saturday, July 6.
