Don't know if anyone here was concerned, but the Meramec River in my
hometown is in the process of receding, finally. We only had 6 inches (15
cm) of rain in 36 hours; but upstream of us, the totals were more like
10-12 inches (35-40 cm). Rains come down, river goes up. Along the stream
length, this was between the 2nd to 4th largest flood in the period of
official record (from 1915). River which is usually 3-10 ft (1-3m) in
depth reached 30 to 40 ft (10 to 12m) along its length and was out of
banks for between 3 and 4 days, (the lowest part crested today at its
Mississippi River confluence).
SNUIP
Come Monday or Tuesday at the latest, the cleanup begins.
Glad to hear you're dry. I recall you had mentioned that you had drainage
problems when it really got wet.
