The Meramec River just southwest of St Louis in cresting at records heights in the nest 24 hours.

I-44 west out of St Louis is shutdown for 20+ miles from I-270 to Eureka, MO

MO highway 30 and 21 west and south are closed also by water of the road.

I-55 south is close to being shutdown as of 7:00 PM CST tonight. Water is creeping onto the road and only 3 of the 4 lanes each way are open.

I live near Fenton, MO which is on the Meramec and a large part of downtown is either under water of not reachable due to water.

MoDoT has warned that you should be on the side of the Meramec that you need to be on before midnight. They think the roads will be closed for at least a couple of days.

We are OK as we live in the higher elevations and don’t have to worry about flooding.
