the town where i was born has been in the news a lot lately due to excessive rain and flooding.
I took the first photo above last summer from the bank of the Black River, right where it runs through downtown Poplar Bluff. A normal level...
The photo below I stole from my sister's site, Bluff Area Daily, showing the entrance to the same bridge across the river - and you can see the water all the way up to the bottom of the bridge!
Pretty amazing ... and dangerous. Thatsa lotta watta~! =)

Hi Brian! Had no idea you were Tricia's brother! Small world! I've been following her blog for a while now and she mentioned your post here. I was IN Terrell today doing some shopping as I live about 1/2 hour away! :) And I've come by your blog before from the Tribune site. :)
