I hope you are safe, and your house is dry! Thx! I’m at Taney and the house is ok. Our mill and heavy fab shops were shut down because the roads were flooded. 11 inches is what I heard.

jdmidwest Posted July 27, 2022 Posted July 27, 2022 Looks pretty jacked up. One of our suppliers shut down also by Earth City. It dumped a flood. FishnDave 1 "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
Gavin Posted July 27, 2022 Posted July 27, 2022 I do feel sorry for the folks affected, but they bear most of the responsibility for choosing to locate themselves in the flood plain. You know we’re its going to flood if you’ve lived in STL for any time at all. Chesterfield Valley was under water in 93 when the levee breached. All those new malls were built since then. bfishn and nomolites 2

Dardenne Creek never used to flood like it does now. All that concrete and asphalt that's been added to the area as St. Charles county has grown in population causes the water to run off into the creek faster than ever, and it doesn't have a place to go except where people have built houses and businesses now.

I’ve built two houses in st charles county. Simple process. Look for the red dot on the plat map. It indicates the property is in the flood plane or it was in the flood plane before they backfilled it.
Gavin Posted July 27, 2022 Posted July 27, 2022 Floods are worse today. Saw a couple new warehouses going in next to the Marsh @ Creve Couer Lake.
fishinwrench Posted July 27, 2022 Posted July 27, 2022 A lower unit that I ordered from Alabama had to go through Earth city (for some reason) ......and now I get this...
Quillback Posted July 27, 2022 Posted July 27, 2022 It is stormy here now. Nice change from the 100 degree stuff. Terrierman 1
Gavin Posted July 27, 2022 Posted July 27, 2022 Earth city is just levied Missouri River flood plain. Lots of water inside that levy too. Levy’s hold water out, and in sometimes. snagged in outlet 3 and nomolites 2
