Front page news at CNN today, flooding along the Mississippi in Missouri.
Thought - Jackson County is on the Missouri River... could this be the way that the area is cleansed for the New Jerusalem temple, by horrendous floods?
(CNN)—Even if it doesn't rain another drop in Missouri, Kathy Wunderlich's home in West Alton may still get flooded.
Recent deluges have engulfed towns, homes, fields and roads in deadly floodwater. Though the storms are gone, the rivers have kept rising from Texas to Illinois.
In West Alton, runoff pushed the Mississippi River over the levees on Tuesday, and Wunderlich was headed for higher ground with her belongings in tow.
"We emptied out our basement of anything important, which is strictly storage anyway. We cleaned out the house of clothes. Things that can't be replaced. Important pieces of furniture," she told CNN affiliate KMOV.
400 gauges over flood stage
Though Wunderlich's situation appears acute, she is one of 17 million people nationwide that the National Weather Service said are living in areas where there are flood warnings.
Throughout the country's midsection about 400 river gauges are over flood stage, with around 45 showing major flooding, the National Weather Service said.
Many of those are in or around St. Louis. Some rivers and streams have already crested, and some haven't yet, like the Mississippi. It is expected to reach its peak late Wednesday or early Thursday in Missouri along with other area streams.
Missouri will still have "major to historic river flooding through early next week," the National Weather Service's St. Louis office said. "Record crests expected on area rivers the next several days."
I really feel for all the impacted people. In '93 it was late June, July, and early August....not the end of December - early January...
I'm still of the opinion fwiw that it will be the plague...possibly originating in Manhattan, Kansas and spreading out from there...
