St. Louis got between 5 and 10 inches of rain (13 - 25 cm) of rain while we were away, depending on the exact location. Some out of town friends have expressed concern for our safety. Not to worry. The only areas affected were along the Mississippi and a local tributary, the Meramec. There is a good selection of photos on our local newspaper's web site here.
My office is close to Big Muddy so I took a walk out onto Eads Bridge for a look. It's hard to understand how high the water is from the first picture. However, below, there is a street between the light poles and flood wall, with sidewalks on either side. Under normal conditions, there is a good stretch of cobblestone levee sloping down to the left.
Got a few more views to come.
