I always have a second sump pump on hand just incase. Have an old cast iron one that is old and the float is broke now but I can flip it on and it moves water, all I care.

I have a battery backup sump in there that I got after the last issue we had, but apparently it doesn't work

I see my sister's house in this video. Looks like the houses are ok, but that course might take a bit of work to get back into playing condition

That's my home course. They've had some problems there and just added a waterway through the middle of the fairway to help relieve it a bit. Not enough for that kind of extended downpour though.

Nothing like a 3am wake up call by the warning sirens in Grimes when there was no weather in the area and winds were calm. I believe Brett is on here, any idea why the sirens went off early this morning?

Why are you asking a weatherperson? They aren't right most of the time.

If your pump goes, battery back up makes no difference. Make sure the pump is not on the bottom. It will plug it up if it is.

Other than Indianola at 3.5" it doesn't look like anyone else got above 2.7" and most locations were 1.5 or less. I-70 from Columbia to St. Louis was the winner last night with 4"+

Definitely less than 3" at my house last night....

We got 4" at our house in Indianola, and I had a coworker with 5".

Supposed to crest at 880' on the 10th. Goes over the spillway at 884'. Saw how they are telling people to stay off in on the 4th due to all the debris floating.

That creek runs most of the back nine. I imagine that several holes are heavily damaged.

Holes have a way of bouncing back.

Yep, I can only think of one hole (other than maybe 1 which is on the east nine) that doesn't run adjacent to that creek (6)). I'd bet it will be a good while before the west 9 is open at all (if it's this year, I will be pleasantly surprised).

We had a secondary sump connected to the battery backup. It never kicked on, so either it died from lack of use, or the battery connected to it died.

Got to treat the battery back up units like a fire alarm...test them on a regular basis.

The holes directly west of the clubhouse are probably safe. They are elevated a bit. Every other hole is probably partially to fully flooded.

Normally that's like a 10 foot wide creek

My uncle used to live right there on Orchard. I’d get free golf balls from the bottom of his pool regularly.
