If anyone is into charts and graphs, here is the NOAA Weather Service
predictions for the Meramec River at Valley park:

wfo=lsx&gage=vllm7&view=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
If the whole link is not a hyperlink, you might have to copy and paste it into
your browser. Meramec has not crested yet, so there could be more flooding.
