Missouri flooding

[ozma914]

The entire town of Morehouse, Mo, where Emily grew up, is under water. I mean, the whole town. Her grandparents' place, her dad's home, everywhere she walked and played, everything. The four lane highway that goes by the town is closed, completely flooded. The police station and town hall are flooded, and from the images it looks like water has made it inside the fire station and is close to contaminating the town's water supply. There haven't been any serious injuries that I'm aware of, and I know all the people effected by tornadoes further east and south have it bad, but please take a moment to keep everyone in the flooded areas in your thoughts and prayers.

That's just horrendous. It reminds me of the Katerina images. :(

Yes, it reminds me of that too ... the flooding is just as serious and almost as widespread, although without quite as much of a storm beforehand.

Just horrible, all of it. Crossing my fingers there will be no reports of people with serious injuries.

Thanks, and we have our fingers crossed, too. So far so good, as far as injuries ...
