As a homeowner in Missouri, this is the kind of development that terrifies me and I'm not even interested in selling our home. It's possible that without intervention from Congress, it might get much harder to either buy or sell a home in Missouri starting in October.
Southern Missouri was hit hard by moisture on Tuesday after thunderstorms dumped massive amounts of rain on that part of the state. New video shows incredible flooding in Branson, Missouri during the deluge.
If you live downstream from a certain reservoir in Washington County, Illinois, you may need to evacuate now as there are multiple dam failures which are causing massive flooding.
I've been fairly accused of being a pessimistic person, but I'm wildly optimistic compared to a worst-case scenario model that shows Missouri could supposedly be underwater someday.
The old saying says "When it rains, it pours". That is sadly even more true for a small Missouri town that was slammed by a deadly tornado in April and is now under flood waters brought about by 8 inches of rain.
It was the third most severe flood of the Mississippi River in the 20th century. The waters rose, levees failed and the end result was 28 lives were lost and thousands were displaced by the 'Great Flood of 73' that created havoc in Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, and Mississippi.
