After coming home from work, I took my Sony handicam to the Meramec River area near the intersection of Highway W and FF, which is a couple miles south of Eureka. The river is expected to crest at just about 42 feet sometime Sat. morning, March 22, 2008.

After recording yesterday, I get more flood footage today. First what can be seen in my backyard, then to Highway FF for the river water backing up into the Labarque Creek, then to the Highway W bridge over the Meramec just south of Eureka. The river actually crested at 38.7 feet today - short of the original 43 feet record projection.

March 20, 2008 11 am central time I captured this video at Ferry and Main street Fenton which is located in St. Louis County. The Meramec River flows along the boundry of this town. If you look across the river you can see Minnie Ha Ha Park which is located in Sunset Hills. Highway 30 or Gravois is in the background. I stood in front of the Fenton Feed Mill and you can see the river is over the banks and up the hill unto the park path and on the River Road here in Fenton. A call went out to ...

Three days of fun from July 3-5, 2009. The last part of our 3 day "tour" ends at The Meramec Caverns in Stanton, MO. An hour drive from St. Louis. The cave and the lightings are amazing. Tip: if you plan on going there, be sure that your cameras and videocams are all fully charged.

MOGA stands for the 'Midwest Open Geocaching Adventure' - a combination competition and casual cache-hunting event. Ok, so this video is kind of boring if you aren't into geocaching or involved in setting up a geocaching event. What I thought was neat was that I took the rented mini-dv camera deep into Sheep Cave at Meramec State Park, Missouri. The park has a very large number of caves, however, only Fisher Cave has organized tours. Paul Konopacki Amateur Videographer

finale

This is the "light show" seen at the end of the Meramec Caverns tour in Stanton, Missouri. The cheesiness is enhanced by the sounds of the constant clicking of ancient light switches by the tour guides to flash all the lights on and off. Unfortunately, the video does not pick up this effect. You'd have to see it in person for that. My favorite part is near the end when the recorded applause ends, and all you can hear is one person laugh, and another person cough. This is followed by polite ...

March 22, 2008 river flooding - More video from Fenton Missouri. This is the closed Old Gravois Bridge. Look how fast the water is moving....and the homes underwater....so sad. Denny Dennis is located to the left for those of you familiar with the area. The American Legion Post is to my right in the video along with MSD Plant.

Meramec River crested at 8:00 PM central time, on March 22, 2008 in South St. Louis County. Film taken at Meramec Bottom Rd just down from Kerth Rd. The fields shown belong to the Kolping Kix plus a local farmer. The main shelter is still under water...the picnic tables are floating with the restrooms in the far background completely submerged. Visible to the maked eye not so much with the cell camera. I was hoping to get into Fenton and film the water levels a day after the crest. The ...

This is a compilation of of pictures from my personal experience with this flood. We received 6 feet in our house. Fortunately, we were able to get most of our things out before it came. Some of our neighbors weren't so lucky.

This is a video I made of the Rays that were seen at Ambergris Caye, Belize with the STLCC Meramec Field Experience in Marine Biology Course. Yes, I like cheesy, yet amazing Jimmy Buffett, and yes...those are real stingrays, and no I did not ever get stung! :) The Music Playing (Supposedly) is Fins by Jimmy Buffett who maintains all rights to his music. SO....UMG did not License me to use the Soundtrack for this film....As such....Please Listen to Jimmy Buffett's "Fins" at the same time as ...
