30 years since the Great Flood of 1993

It's been 30 years since floods devastated parts of Kansas and Missouri. In order to reduce the risk of flooding and improve reliability, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been looking at the past to build a better future.

I was looking for myself in this video. I was sandbagging in 93, Parkville and my friends and family told me I was on the news.

I recall thunderstorms occurring every day or sometimes every other day in the summer of 1993. Thanks for the interesting news about the improved levees.
