Rosendale and Agency continue to feel the effects of Sunday’s storms, as additional Missouri roads were closed Tuesday because of flooding.

The flooding 102 River has now spilled over onto both the eastern and western portions of Missouri Highway 48 at Rosendale, said Holly L. Murphy, a spokeswoman for the Missouri Department of Transportation. Missouri Route C on the eastern and southern city limits of Rosendale also is closed due to flooding, Mrs. Murphy said.

Predictions were for the 102 River to crest at 19.8 feet, but that was before more rain started falling.

The Platte River spilled onto Missouri Route H just east of Agency and the department closed that route Tuesday morning, Mrs. Murphy said.

The forecast called for the Platte to crest at 25.11 feet near Agency, but additional rains are anticipated to increase that crest.

Missouri Route H in Gentry County remained closed four miles south of Darlington since Monday due to a washout around a culvert.

The National Weather Service at Pleasant Hill reports that there is a potential for more flooding on the 102 River at Rosendale, the Grand River near Pattonsburg, Gallatin and Chillicothe and the Platte River at Agency and Platte City.

A flash flood and flood watch includes the Northwest Missouri counties of Andrew, Buchanan, Caldwell, Clinton, Daviess, DeKalb, Gentry, Livingston, Nodaway, Platte and Worth. It includes the towns of Albany, Bethany, Cameron, Chillicothe, Gallatin, Grant City, Harrison, Jamesport, Kingston, Maryville, Plattsburg, Polo, Princeton, Savannah, Stanberry and Trenton.

This watch is expected to continue into today. There was the potential for significant amounts of rainfall late Tuesday evening and through the overnight hours. Weather service expectations were that it would not take much heavy rain to cause flash flooding across the watch area.

A severe thunderstorm watch was in effect until 3 p.m. Tuesday for Atchison and Brown counties in Kansas and Platte County in Missouri.

Drivers should avoid entering flooded roads with a vehicle. Nearly half of all flood fatalities are vehicle-related. As little as 6 inches of water can cause you to lose control, and 2 feet of water will carry most vehicles away.
