MARANTHA!! Even so, come LORD JESUS!!!
I would like to ask each of you to please remember the folks in Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas and on down the Mississippi River in your prayers....
Missouri has had flooding in the past few days that has been breaking 100 year flood records. The town of Doniphan has had this record topped and the high school there was completely underwater. Towns throughout the state are losing homes>>>>> that have NEVER flooded before>>>>>>> to flood damage.
This is not JUST along the Mississippi River. All of the rivers, lakes and streams are flooding at record levels. Because the rural population does not have the political UMPH that urban areas do, highways are built that cut off normal water routes and they cut down trees and foliage which would normally absorb the water, instead lining the highway with grassy areas of nothing of substance that will absorb water. They concrete in streams in areas that have previously allowed water to be absorbed by not only large areas of ground, but trees, plants, bushes and all forms of grass and living beings. Then they can't figure out why it floods.
We are no where near the flood. We live on the highest point around this are and are above the dams that are currently flooding. But yes, the dams throughout Missouri are overflowing......we live near one and there are some pictures below of the day AFTER the worst of the damage. The day of the overflow, no one was allowed on the dam or the bridge across it due to fear of vibrations. Why they are allowing people over it now, I'm not sure?? The highway below the dam is washed out.......
This overflow has already taken out the only access to the next town of any size. The town to the northeast, which allows passage at thirty miles of additional mileage, is totally underwater and it is every time it rains very much, because of the way they built the new four lane of Hwy 67. ALL of the towns along 67 flood now, because the idiots blocked off all the natural passageways of the water, which was in the form of small seasonal streams and creeks. I guess those were just not "significant" in the planning by the retards that designed and built the highway. So, now everyone north of Poplar Bluff up to Cherokee Pass, along 67 floods almost every year now.
Our only access to town, including hospitals, grocery stores and other needed resources is by going all the way around the dam and approximately 80 miles out of the way...it's actually closer to go to Cape Girardeau.
In addition, they have built up the area around St. Louis so much, that Interstate 55 is now flooding. Everyone says it is caused by "Climate Change".....BULL***!! It is the destruction of the forests and natural habitat that is causing it. Cutting down forests causes flooding>>>>DUH!!
In Poplar Bluff, the levies failed two days ago. Three years ago the City Council did a study and found that "trees cause the river to flood." No S^*+! That is what they said! So, they cut down all the trees along the levy!! Well, OK, I guess if the trees fall in the water and you allow them to block the river they do, but these trees had been along the levy and river for 80+ years and did NOT cause the town to flood!
NOW it floods>>>no trees to hold the river bank, so it collapses into the water and...
Guess WHAT!!
IT FLOODS!
IDIOTS!!
Here are the pics>>>>
The bottom pic shows where the highway has been washed away.....see the two silver utility poles and the yellow road sign? Follow the grey line, which is the road, and in between the utility poles you can see what is left of the road. It's completely gone now......
Also, in the first picture, where you see all the red clay, that is ALL land that has been washed out by the water. Before, that was all nice green park area.....

I bet the state bird will be out in droves though in another day or two. Keep your head down and your deet on!
