Independence Missouri

We arrived at the Campus RV Park in Independence (outside Kansas City) this afternoon. The drive across Missouri was made a little bit challenging by the wind blowing across the state today. The weather forecasters are calling for severe thunderstorms with high winds and possible hail for tonight. Not what this area needs. We saw flooding by the Missouri River as we came across on I-70. Flooding is a big problem in the areas near the river, especially further north and over into Iowa. The news is full of the damage to the crops, businesses and homes. We're going to stay right here for a few days to see how the weather and flooding does. If no more rain, the river is forecast to go down and no additional flooding. But, some areas are also worried about their levees and dams. Please pray for these folks. These are tough times.
