Flood of May 2007

You can see that the water has covered this road and bridge earlier in the day. Crazy Zach and some of his friends thought...hey...wouldn't it be fun to jump off of the bridges into the swollen river. You can imagine what I had to say.
Heading south on Hwy 69 toward Liberty. This is what 2 days of constant rain will get you. It was pretty scary at times. I began to wonder if I was going to have a way to get home. By 5 p.m. though it had receded enough that most routes had been reopened. Lucky Me!
This is 69 Hwy leading into Excelsior Springs. It was taken after the water had gone down.
