Thank you channel 9 for the St.Louis History. I binge watching these videos. I have to finish the decades series. 2021 was a bad flood year.

I was at Lowry AFB Colorado for training when this happened. I remember watching about it on the news and calling my Mom to make sure our family was okay.

Having been born on the Illinois side of the river in 1944 I have experienced flooding as a kid. I moved away in 1959. Like Hurricane damage and river flooding..why build so tight on the beach and on the river. Let space be there for water to do it's natural thing. There should never be building in a flood plain nor close to the waters edge on the beaches. Just my thoughts.

I always wondered that too. I understand that commercially, economically, farming etc needs to be right there, but as someone's prime residence? I'm baffled.

I was 12 during the flood. I'll never forget how it came up, stayed up, and every time people thought it might be ending one more crest would happen. I'll also never forget how many occasions I saw grown men with watery eyes, at their wits end. Many old timers had spent their entire life along the river, and saw action in WWII. Seeing even them struggle to grasp how bad it was, will always atick with me.

I was 5-6 years old during this. I'll never forget watching the water rising and rising over the days till my mom took me and my siblings to the top floor where we lived for months. I was 5 and turned 6 in that july. Worse birthday ever when the neighbor kept yelling we were all gonna die etc. It was crazy to think back on it now. I was a child playing in that vile sh*t water not knowing the the first day of rain wouldn't be over for weeks and I was never going to see Chuckie Cheese lol

The 93 flood finished off some small towns south of St.Louis like Claryville- Seventy Six- Wittenberg. Once thriving towns now ghost towns.

Aside from the damage and the house floating away when the levee broke and all the other "whoa, this is Biblical in scope" stuff the thing I remember most was how much people cared and came together to help. It was trendy to go help fill sandbags. A group of my family went, somewhere I still have one of those cans of water A-Busch provided when they actually turned production cans into water to donate like something seen in WWII. It was mostly all in vain, but people tried.

I was in the flood of 93 I was 10 years old. We lived in apartments off river Des Peres. We had to leave in a boat and had one bag. We were instantly homeless. We stayed at coral courts motel the last week it was open then no home. FEMA gave my mom 600 for me and my 2 brothers that’s it 600 dollars
