Flood alert - Flood Warning issued April 30 at 5:43AM CDT until May 2 at 8:10AM CDT by NWS Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO

Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge Consisting of a funnel and a small container affixed to a tipping lever, rain gauges collect a set amount of precipitation before the container tips, dumping out any collected water and sending an electrical signal to a data transmitter.

As a last resort, when floods threaten, use large corks or stoppers to plug showers, tubs, or basins.

If not, satellite telemetry will likely be required.

Once you get to a safe area, do not return until authorities say that it is safe to do so.
