From the article: The plant is in the Ozarks, about 120 miles southwest of St. Louis

I'm pretty sure UM was closer to St. Louis.

UM2 is closer to Kansas City so I imagine he didn't see any water for a change.

Uncle Mick is outside St. Joseph MO, which is in northwestern MO. The dam was located in southeastern MO. Uncle Mick is several hundred miles from the accident.
