We have to cross a bridge over Black River to get to civilization (Wal-Mart, major cities, etc.) and the flood stage is 17.0 feet. The river is going to crest at 32 feet on Monday.Already the water is headed towards the highway and the fast food places. Wally World may have to set up sand bags pretty soon as they are located not far from the river.
We're up in the hills, but to get to our part of town, you have to cross a bridge either from the east or west, and both rivers are flooded. Please pray that it doesn't get worse for those who live in the midwest.

Bouncy, we are still under flood warning and the river rose 2 feet. I have never seen such erratic weather patterns here in the 14 years that I have lived in our little town. I used to feel sorry for the folks in CA because they get clobbered with everything, but now I think bad juju has moved south.

My parents live in Lake St Louis (I lived there for a few years as well) she has been real lucky...although she is virtually stuck...things are flooding all around her!
My step-Grandma is a Red Cross volunteer (lives in NW MO) she has not had far to travel lately to help.
I am now in the mountains of NC...I watch the storms head in our directions but the mountains always seem to break them up enough to just drop the rain we so desperately need.
I guess y'all should be up for some good-weather-karma next year! Hang in there and keep your chains lubed and tires filled...fair weather wishes being sent your way!I am a nobody; nobody is perfect, and therefore I am perfect.

I just got really bad thunderstorms last night. My dogs were even scared, and they usually sleep though everything.
Nothing like having a freaked out Belgian Malinois try to bury her snout in your armpit in the middle of the night
