Everyone - The flood levee at Hannibal has held. The first crest is past and
the river is dropping. Another crest is due Sunday. Other than the river
boat, all sites are open and going. A number of Hannibal homes and
businesses outside the flood wall are in water now.

Several levees near Hannibal did give way and many homes and many acres of
fields are under water. Keep all of the Midwest in your thoughts and
prayers.

Florida, Missouri, is not bothered by the Mississippi River flooding.
