ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Heavy rains overnight and this morning have led to the closing of several routes in Northwest Missouri due to high water.
Situations can change quickly, especially during flooding. Motorists are reminded to stay alert and to not drive through any water over the roadway. It only takes six inches of water (or less!) to lose control of your vehicle and possibly be swept into rising floodwaters.
