2. Our 23 yr old born during event

Worked downtown STL at the time. Took bus to near the riverfront. The Admiral, floating casino at that time, was LEVEL with the Eads Bridge!!

Massive amounts of water came down Ole man river. Unreal.
BUT
Chesterfield bottoms totally flooded, 8-12 feet deep. After water receded, they had levee built to withstand 500 year flood,
Today the amount of $$$$ spent in the stores which line the bottoms now is unreal as well.
Next event? But it will cost MUCH more insurance wise to cash them out
