Severe storms hit the Midwest in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. David Klaus reports that St. Louis area fan Britt Eubanks lost everything he owned as his apartment was filled with water to the ceiling in the flash flood.

Klaus also points out the local coverage of flooding on Manchester Road in Brentwood, Missouri, of stfnal interest because:

When sf writer Sharon Farber was a Neurological Resident at Barnes and City Hospitals, she lived in a side-by-side duplex downhill from Brentwood Blvd. just north of Manchester Rd. — I’ll bet it was flooded, if not overtopped.
