Saturday morning, the Loup River was rolling fast at our house. I don’t know how far it went, but Shawn saw a 500-gallon propane tank quickly float by. I don’t know who is missing it upstream. In March of 2019, the flow at St. Paul was at 37,900 cfs, Saturday morning it was 9,440. The North Loup River was also high at 5,980 cfs. The South Loup River was at 2,490.

The South Loup River was down to 1,770, the Middle Loup River was at 4,210, and the North Loup River was at 2,060 cfs.
