I just crossed the Mississippi a few hours ago on my way to MO. We cross just north of St. Louis and it's crazy how high the river is. My in laws have a Resturant on lake of the Ozarks and the water was 1/2" below the top of the foundation. Other folks in the area are not so lucky. The water on the lake has gone down quite a bit but that is do to Bagnell dam flood gates. It's going to take a good while before its all over.
