I am fortunate to live in high ground in Missouri, but this is definitely the closest the flooding has come. As close as 2 miles away, my friends neighborhoods are almost inaccessible. They had to have a fire department park in their neighborhood for a few days since once the water crested, there neighborhood would be unaccessible if there was a fire. Very scary.
It reminds me of when I first moved to St. Louis in 1993 which was the worse flooding ever. I have only begun to hear some concern for later in the spring when the record snowfalls up north begin to raise the water levels of the Mississippi.
Here is a few pictures from our local news site KSDK.
