Flooding in Mucatine, Iowa

Sam met me in Muscatine on June 12 for the annual Muscatine Stanley Conference. The mid west was in the middle of some serious flooding along some side rivers and the mighty Mississippi River. It water looked strong and very fast moving in the rivers. Lots of roads were closed as each day went along. What was open the day before was closed the next.

The next day in this parking lot it was under water.

And the water was almost up to the landing of the stairs here the next day.

We crossed the Mississippi River bridge into Illinois. We traveled to Navoo on Saturday and had to take the longggggggggggg way around. A normal trip would have taken an hour and it took over 3 hours to get there with the detours that we ran into along the way.
