The Arkansas River at Ozark crested today at 362 feet which is the 7th highest on record. This is also about 4 feet higher than the river got to back in July (2007). Here is video:



The river crested at Fort Smith/Van Buren yesterday at nearly 28 feet (about 5 feet over flood stage). The river is falling now and most of the roads that are currently closed (like Hwy 255 near Central City) should be open by tomorrow morning. The Poteau River at Panama has also now crested and is falling but it may not be below flood stage until Sunday or Monday.
