Weekend Reflection

This is the bridge over the Missouri River leading into Leavenworth, KS.   KC area experienced heavy rains yesterday and flooding has been a concern everywhere along the Missouri.  Roads north of Leavenworth have been closed.  Last weekend I drove east to St Louis, MO.  About half way across the state I cross the Missouri River and the river had exceeded it's banks on the west side 1.2 miles.  At this intersection the land is extremely low and it is common that the river over runs it's banks.

It seems like there has been an excessive amount of flooding in your neck of the woods this year.

The weather seems to be so strange and extreme this year in many places!

We are already in July and the rivers are STILL flooding! It is amazing, isn't it? Good luck.
