Missouri and Mississippi Rivers Converge

Well now it has happened. The two rivers, which are flooding, are converging in Missouri. The flooding was the very worst of all in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Now it is in Missouri and those poor people are sandbagging and it isn't doing any good. You just can't fight the water and there is more coming down the rivers. A number of roads, both highways and gravel roads are completely washed out in places. Railroad bridges are down and trains are changing routes and are limited in where they can go. If traveling in these states, be sure you check ahead. Your road may be gone and whatever you do, don't go around a road block or drive through water, you will probably be sorry and could lose your life.
