mercy hospital.. had to evacuate.. this is 10 CITY BLOCKS from the river going east.
The flood has taken over 423 city blocks. Damages are estimated at $380 million and could go higher. This is so heartwrenching. I am pretty much stuck on my side of town. if I want to go to the other side I have to travel over the river on 380. The hgwy I go to my parents whichs runs east and west is closed. Lots of road closures and stuff.
There is a town just nw that is completely surrounded by this river
