Weather Alert

.The forecast of up to a foot of rain is on track, with many
locations nearing that total and experiencing widespread flooding.
Additional heavy rain will only exacerbate ongoing flooding and make
it even worse and more widespread.

...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues. Additional
heavy rains will only exacerbate ongoing flooding and make it
worse and more widespread...resulting in particularly dangerous
situations.

* WHERE...All of southeast Missouri, southern Illinois, southwest
Indiana, and western Kentucky.

* WHEN...Through Sunday morning.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Low-water
crossings may be flooded. Extensive street flooding and flooding
of creeks and rivers are possible. Area creeks and streams are
running high and could flood with more heavy rain. Be prepared as
rising water levels may cause particularly dangerous situations
where evacuations could become necessary.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Flash flooding and flooding caused by excessive rainfall is
expected. With the forecast on track and radar estimates and
spotter reports confirming many locations already having
received between 4 and 10 inches, anticipated additional
bouts of heavy rain will put everyone in the half foot to
foot range. A few isolated totals greater than a foot are not
out of the question. These amounts and resultant flooding
creates a particularly dangerous situation.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Monitor the latest forecasts and be alert for additional Flash Flood
and Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should
be prepared to take action should flooding develop or worsen.

Tom's Place has won many awards over the years, including the North American Restaurant Association five star award of excellence and the Wine Spectator award of excellence from 2002 through 2016.

Below is a statement they shared on their Facebook page...

"Well folks it has been an interesting journey for Mary Jane and I to own Tom's Place for 25 years. We met a lot of interesting people and made a lot of friends but unfortunately all good things come to an end. The struggles of owning a restaurant has been overwhelming in the last three years and we just don't have the energy or the health to continue so we have decided to close the restaurant on July second. So come and say goodbye before July 1st, which will be our last day. We hope that the place could be an opportunity for someone else and we look forward to seeing what happens with Tom's Place in the future. We hope you keep following Lasse on Food is love, which will be his next adventure."
