Quote of the Month

Levee breaks along the Missouri River flooded homes, farms, highways and railroad tracks as floodwaters that have inundated the region were expected to peak in some spots this weekend. Near-record flood levels dropped in some places but rose in northwest and central Missouri, as worried residents removed valuables from their homes and filled sandbags to protect river communities.

According to Holt County Sheriff Kirby Felumb, “The water got within a hillbilly's whisker from going over in several places.”
