Rain, Rain Go Away!!

March 27, 2008

We have been receiving rain for many days now.  On Saturday night, the river near our place crested at 25 feet above flood stage.  We are however in a higher place, but please pray for those who have been impacted and most likely will be impacted again with these flood waters.  Here are some pictures that were taken from this weekend.  This first one is at an intersection that is pretty close to our place.  The flooding was really bad at this intersection because it is in between two hills.  So this picture is a little more dramatic than what the water looks like around the area, but still a cool picture!  It is a little blurry, but the red thing by the road signs is a semi trying to drive through the intersection.

This is one of the bridges that goes over the river near us.  Not much of bridge anymore!

 You know you are in flood watch when a beaver swims across the highway!

Like we said before, we are doing fine, no problems for us with the flooding, but whoever is praying for rain, Stop it!!

March came in like a lion!

This is after 10 hours of snowing, which doesn’t happen very often in St. Louis (usually it is ice pellets)!  Snow Day number 4 this past month for Jess!

March is in like a lion!
