Missouri Flooding Information

I am incredibly sorry that I have not done a better job reporting on the flooding damage around the state.  I have heard a lot of first-hand accounts, rumors, and stories but nothing from a real media outlet.  So, here is a list of links to news reports and coverage of the devastation that has been felt by so many people and businesses.  My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected and I hope that we as Missourians can help one another recover.

Like Busch stated in yesterday's post, The American Red Cross is always a good place to donate.  Here is a recent publication by The American Red Cross and here is how The Red Cross is helping citizens in and around Noel, Missouri, as well.  You can also click here to see how to help St. Louis flood victims.
