Here on campus we have had water in the lower levels of dorms and some class buildings. My mom and granma and grandpa came down to visit yesterday for my birthday and said that the river bottoms between perryville Mo and Chester IL was so flooded that you could not tell where the river stopped and the farm fields started.
