WHEN RIVERS GET ANGRY

10-inch rainfalls have turned

Missouri streams and rivers into 

torrential flood waters,

covering roads and highways,

driving people from their homes

and businesses.

 (Unfortunately, accounting for several deaths.)

The beautiful Meramec River has been 

especially hard hit, unable to handle the

unrelenting rains and runoff.

The last 2 images show Maggie (daughter)

and Andy's river house, and our

  historic riverview cabin . . . 

1) View from their 2nd floor bedroom window,

overtaking their river home, and

2) Hillside overlook of the cabin (see the roof?)

surrounded by the Meramec River waters.

(It's as close as we could get.)

Most rivers crest on Wednesday.

No way to tell how much damage

until the waters recede.

People's lives and property suffer

when "rivers get angry."
