The Great Flood of 2008

Okay so everyone knows (or should know) that the rivers are cresting. The Meramec River near my house has risen so high that the intersection of 141 & 44 is completely underwater! Yesterday I went around and took lots of pictures of the flooding. I have uploaded those photos and you can view the pics from my back road here. Also click here and here for pics of 141 at 44 and downtown Fenton. I played "mountain goat" yesterday, hiking all over to get pictures and am now paying the price. I went back earlier this afternoon to get more pictures. I will probaly be going out again around 4ish to take more pictures and see how high the water has gotten. This is crazy! It is like 1993 all over again! Just getting to the other side of 141 took me a half an hour where as it usually takes me like 2 minutes or less. Traffic on Westbound 44 is bumper to bumper b/c 109 at Eureka is now closed in both directions. Weathermen are forcasting that this flood is going to be worse than 1993. Luckily I live on really elevated ground, so I don't have to worry about being flooded myself. If I do, then somebody had better build an ark! I will upload my video on here as soon as it uploads on facebook.
