If any of you have watched the news, you have seen the ridiculous amount of rain we've received from the terrible storms that have touched MO, TX, AR, OK, and TN. In Southeast Missouri it is very bad since there are numerous water ways in the region that have overflowed and flooded many parts of the area. People have had to leave their homes, farmers have flooded fields in the middle of planting season, and many businesses are flooded as well. Rural roads as well as main highways are closed due to water over the roads from flooded drainage ditches and fields. It's not a pretty sight. Actually...it's very sad.
Please pray for Southeast Missouri and other areas and states where they have had deaths, destruction, and flooding.
Here are a few pics from the area.
