Re: [IRCA] Flooding Takes Out KCHI TX

["Tim Kridel" <timkridel@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just drove over the Missouri River on my way to Columbia. It's well over
its banks and much higher than it was when I passed through on Thursday. But
fortunately it's nowhere near the levels it was in 1993 and 1995, when the
river flooded to the point that it shut down I-70.

Things could get worse for KCHI Chillicothe, MO.

According to the Chillicothe Constitution-Tribune:
"Flood waters were still rising today (Tuesday) and the National 
Weather Service has issued a revised flood warning for the area, 
predicting the Grand River to crest at midnight tonight at 37.5 feet 
- 13.5 feet above flood stage."

No direct mention of the situation with KCHI in the news article.  I 
have relatives in the area and have sent off an inquiry on the matter.

(I was at first confused by the subject of this post, confusing 
abbreviation for transmitter with the state of Texas.)
