Flooding

If you've been reading the news today, you'll see on the front page that we're having serious flooding in Eastern Missouri...which, for those of you who have never been here, is exactly where St. Louis is! As far as I know, the river hasn't overflowed the levee here in the 'Lou, and we're pretty well protected, but it has definitely been raining for a LONG time. It's so strange that some parts of the country have been having droughts for the past few years, since we ALWAYS have flooding here in Missouri. Here are some pictures that I found of what's been going on in this part of the state...
