Some of you have commented about the Severe Weather Alerts on the indicator at the side of my blog. We have been under severe weather alerts for weeks. We've had lots of thunderstorms, tornado watches and flooding which kicks off these alerts. The Missouri River has been under flood warning for weeks. The Army Corp of Engineers have been watching and attempting to control the Missouri River by release water at dams upstream to minimize flooding while not causing to much downstream flooding. Those close to the Missouri River are paying close attention to the news and weather.
In the top photo, back in the trees, was a camp ground. I visited Leavenworth, KS on Sunday, it is 30 miles west of Liberty, MO, where I live. I visited this camp site and further down stream, a walking path next to the Mighty Mo. There was a steady stream of people visiting the river to see how high it was flowing.
Over night my weather app on my phone went off for tornado watch, severe thunderstorm and flooding.

Every part of the country has its perks and downside. I guess there really is no perfect place.
I always thought the weather in the midwest was sort of exciting. You never know what you're going to get. But hope you stay safe and the waters don't rise anymore.
My sister lives in Springfield, MO so I hear about the tornado warnings that go on quite often in that area. So far they have only experienced fallen branches but lots and lots of rain. Stay dry!
I've noticed that there always seems to be a weather alert on your sidebar and hoped it was meant to be clicked to see if there were alerts around! Stay safe.
All winter long these blogs were remarking on how much snow we had, and all spring long we have been remarking how wet it has been (except our west). Now it is time to pay the piper. The snow and rain runoff has to go somewhere. I don't remember such high water so late in the year in the past. Good luck. We are feeling pretty fortunate this year in New England. But, Nature is probably just plotting what she will send us.
Wow. I don't think I would want to hear that app going off in the middle of the night. I guess we are all in it one way or another. Be safe my friend.
