The following pictures were taken 2 miles from my house at Lake Manawa State Park this is the Missouri River boat access inside the park most commonly called Long's Landing.

I wonder if that would make passage around a little swifter if the lake's flooding spread into the area widely enough to allow it. How deep are we looking at here?
Not good.
Thats really a shame,so many people are losing so much out there.
Not sure how deep the water is out in the middle of all that.
But the light pole in the 2nd and 4th pictures is at the edge of the bank and there's normally about an 8 foot drop to the water. To the left is where the ramp down to the river would be during normal levels.
Flood stage here is around 30 feet and they expect it to hit 34 or higher by mid June, there's still a lot of snow in the mountains of Montana and they're getting a lot of rain right now. It all feeds into the Missouri so things are going to get worse soon.

New pics taken today from the pedestrian bridge between Council Bluffs Iowa and Omaha Nebraska
Omaha Skyline
Looking across to the I480 bridge leading into Omaha, the concrete pipe in the pic are stacked three high
Monument to Labor, the three statues at the bottom of the monument are at ground level and stand about 7 feet tall
Wow,we do not get too see what is going on there out here on the west coast,glad you are posting so we can see whats going on.
Be safe out there.
Nature can suck it - Lake Mead is down like 120 feet and the whole midwest has it up to their armpits.
