Missouri River

"The LORD sits enthroned over the flood;
       the LORD is enthroned as King forever.

  The LORD gives strength to His people;
       the LORD blesses His people with peace."

Psalm 29:10-11

The following pictures were taken on Thursday evening 6/12/08.

Missouri River

The Access Road was closed, so we hiked up to the park area.


As we got closer, we noticed how much water was pooling up- more than normal.


The River is located about 20 minutes or so from our house.  This park area is
off I-219 in Sugar Creek. 

The current was fast and furious, swirling and roaring.  The kids commented how
"loud" the river was.

Over the banks and onto the road.


Looking west under the bridge.

Looking East away from the bridge.


Large debris- looks like a huge tree branch or small tree.

Kids in front of the flooding river.



The sky wasn't looking too good so we headed home. 

Later in the evening, this very spot was hit under a very bad storm. The hail core
as seen on radar was right where we were.  The hail was reported as "golf ball sized".


Let's pray for those effected by the floods.
