So, most of you know a little bit about the flooding that happened here in Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. Michael has been working like crazy these past couple weeks out on the river, surveying the damage. He took many pictures of the devastation, and I wanted to share just a few.The first one, taken May 15, is a trailer washed into a bridge on the Nodaway River, north of St. Joseph, MO. The water is still about 9 ft above normal after already dropping about 8ft.
The second one, taken May 7, is in Rulo, NE. The water is about 18ft higher than normal (this was taken at the highest the water reached here and about 1 hour before the levee directly across the river broke and lowered the water level about a foot and a half.) If you look closely, you can see the very top of a pick-up truck next to the house on the right and a man paddling around his house in a little boat.
The third one, taken May 8, is a riverside park in Parkville, MO. The water is about 20ft higher than normal.
