2011 Missouri River Flooding

These are some of the pictures of the flooding that is occurring here.  These pictures are over a week old so the river is much higher now.  I will try and get some additional updates from closer to my home.

The water level in the picture above shows that the river has risen almost halfway up the supports. 

Even thought the water was high and alerts were sounded many people walked over the pedestrian bridge between Nebraska and Iowa.  Some out of curiosity's sake and others out of necessity because many of the road ways were/are temporarily closed.  I wonder if this is what it would look like in a SHTF/TEOTWAWKI situation with people leaving cars behind to walk out of an area on foot?

 

The picture above shows one of the many levies that was hastily constructed along the Missouri.  It is now mostly if not completely under water.
