Flooding in Elsberry

Mike Walsh asked me to send out a message as an FYI to the club membership. As you may have seen on the news, there has been significant flooding in Elsberry (where our high power launch site is located) and a state of emergency declared. Per Lincoln County Emergency Management (see attached), everyone is advised to avoid the area unless absolutely necessary. Also, please do not attempt to contact the landowner - the club's landowner contacts will be in touch with them and will communicate the status when we have it.

Flash Flooding is currently impacting the City of Elsberry and surrounding areas. Lincoln County Emergency Management has requested activation of the Region C Boat Rescue Strike Team, which is en route at this time. Please avoid the area. Water rescues and evacuations are actively underway.
