How high's the water ? ?
 

I'm in Southern Illinois this evening and the rain just won't quit... Roads closed, floods everywhere, and concerns in Missouri about levees holding up to the endless rain... Supposed to get some of this down my way too. Johnny has more on this event....

Don't wanna steal Tommy's birthday thunder (Happy Bday!), but it is crazy around here...last night they said we'd gotten 14+ inches or rain here around Alton, and expected another 7-9 inches overnight into today! In the middle of the rain this morning, it decided to sleet for a while, and then has been snowing for the past hour! Water is way, WAY up, and I had to take one of our enclosed trailers and evacuate part of my in-laws belongings...! One of our local schools under water, another completely surrounded and all but under, towns evacuating, lots and lots of schools out.

Here's the Eleven Point River in Thomasville, MO, within a couple of blocks of my in-laws' house...my wife took the picture @ noonish, from the back porch of her aunt's restaurant, before the water got *really* high...

Here's another shot of part of the parking lot of her aunt's restaurant (directly to the left)...last night while we were evacuating my in-laws the water up to the foundation on about 1/3 of the building...

New bridge that replaced 2 older bridges, as the older bridges were prone to being submerged...last night the water was up the supports just shy of the road surface...

Looking in the opposite direction now, towards the restaurant...the river bed is actually on the other side of the trees on the right hand side of the frame...
