Valley Park flooding

So, the Meramec river is flooding near us, and so far, it hasn't affected any homes, though the mayor says "The City of Valley Park is expecting flooding by the Meramec River. We expect flooding to occur within the city outside of the levee protected area." Here's a picture of it overflowing into some quarry south of our house, courtesy of ksdk:

Currently the river is supposed to set a record level of 40 feet, which basically puts anything outside the levy several feet underwater. Much of valley park is inside the levee, and we actually live along the big giant ridgeline that rises just north of the river, so our house is fine. (terrain map below courtesy of google shows where we live, as compared to where the flooding in the picture above is).

Anyway, that's all for now... my lunch break is over.
