A relaxed Eureka Fire Chief Greg Brown talks about the recent flooding in the emergency command center at Eureka Fire Station 1 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)
