The Midwest floods saw structures and buildings such as this casino, literally go under! It's located in the city, right next to the Mississippi river which crested on Sunday.
See that stop-sign? It's almost submerged!
Look how high the water levels are!
And just early last week, news of the waters reaching up to the steps of The Arch, St Louis' iconic landmark, made headlines.
You don't get a very good picture of the river spilling over its banks, from these shots of The Arch snapped from the highway as we drove off. But it was the closest we got to it, when dark clouds loomed and a storm followed.

At first, I really thought it's some under-water-casino that I've not known of. The picture got me dumbfounded! What a sight to witness in life!
Water, water. Did you know? Water symbolizes wealth according to Chinese superstition. The casino is really in a good dip then? I pray no more damages.
Stardust,
I pray the same, too.
I completely forgot about the "shui" = $$$... but o dear, this one's a sinking investment =(
Isn't it dangerous that you guys are so close?
oh my! that's really some flood! You take care bp. *hugs*
Hey! For a moment, I thought it was a movie studio set!
WOW! THat is a major food isn't it?
Oh, gosh! The storm is really crazy. Hey, they can transformed the Casino into a underwater casino.
Is it operational? Who'd go there after such an incident?
Btw, here's a just-for-fun tag for u. ;)
Wow, that looks really bad.I remembered the foot of the Arc was some distance away from the river.

The situation is better now. The waters are receding... and just in time for the nation's 4th of Jul celebrations. But for homes and buildings like this casino badly affected, they can't flip back overnight just like this.

Sting,
There has been previous flooding, and if I'm not mistaken, the water level had been as high.
Jo-N,
Thanks. How have you been? Hope all's well with you =).

We all seem to be "slowing" down in blogging!
I am always amazed by you being that little angel in many people's lives! I just love reading your comments, here and there, and of course, in my blog too! I am more than amazed, just touched!
Standing tip-toe to your new bundle of joy! The joy is no less than waiting to see JoMel's wedding reception pictures and stories!
Take care, little angel :)

Dear Yan,
Thanks so much for coming by, for your well-wishes, and always with your words of encouragement and wisdom!
Been only "stealing" minutes here and there to email/ drop a line. Sorry, haven't kept up with your blog, and I hope all's well with you.
Meanwhile, you have a fruitful Singapore trip and pray for your journey's mercies... oh, and yeah, eat "until you burst"... I especially miss the pepper crabs! ;p
