Flood waters begin to receed in Missouri

The baseball fields at Eureka High School still remain underwater as flood waters from the Meramec River begin to receed in Eureka, Missouri on March 23, 2008. The Meramec River and Big River converge in Eureka, having reached near record levels. Seventeen people were killed in the midwest with homes and businesses flooded after heavy rains inundated the area earlier in the week. (UPI Photo/Bill Greenblatt)
