The bottom ones are 15 miles from here from a creek that way overtopped its banks and also the Kaskaskia river that has flooded.  That creek also runs a mile from here but we are on a lot higher ground so it wont flood here.

Those aren't ducks, just stinking coots!  :D

That is not a flood, just a little rain.  :uhoh

In the same boat here on the Missouri side. High ground is a wonderful thing. Will try and post some pics later.  :aok

Luckily here all thats under water is crops and farmground, no houses yet under and no rescues in the immediate area, at least people here are smart for once.

Rip  :D   Nice pic.

But you have big mountains to hold all of that water in! We just have hills.  :uhoh

The Meramec is just a mid size Ozark stream. In spots below the bridge it is only 20-30 ft across, and about 2-6 ft. deep.

Meatwad you need more hills.  :aok
