According to Labette County Commissioner Lonnie Addis a Coffey County Commissioner called him to inform him they intended to open up the gates at John Redmond Reservoir due to the amount of rain fall they've seen. Addis informed him it wasn't exactly dry in their area as well. The Coffey County Commissioner referred to it as a 100 year flood stage.
Addis says even if the rains cease, at least along the Neosho they are going to be seeing a lot more water.
