And with more severe weather on the way, it's easy to forget last month's flooding.
Unless the fast-moving waters took out walls and drowned bridges in your town.
No Name Creek runs right through Newburg, and March 17th, it rose high enough to wreak havoc.
The waters rose again just a few weeks later and took out the wall of a city building and damaged three bridges.
In a community where the mayor doubles as the minister, there's not a lot of wiggle room in the budget.
“We’re such a small town and limited. Anytime we have something major we have to ask for help,” explains the city’s emergency manager Don Ertle.
Mother Nature was the one who wiggled her way into Newburg, Missouri, March 17th and jarred the foundation around this city building used for storage.
“These blocks were already loose. Some of them had already gone out from the top of there,” says the town’s mayor Andy Mattison.
Two weeks later, the high waters returned and swept the wall away with it.
“Have you ever seen in the Olympics they have the kayak? That's what that thing looked like. It was flowing probably 40 miles per hour, white caps, the whole bit,” Ertle says.
The creek also damaged two low water bridges and a pedestrian bridge that's now so rickety and tilted the city is unsure if it should even be crossed.
And before any permanent repairs can be made, FEMA has to provide the funds.
There are some things the city can do while it waits to hear from FEMA.
It has filled all the holes in the bridges caused by water damage with blacktop.
But what the creek really needs is a good clean-up.
All that gravel is causing a whole host of problems.
“If you look at our low water bridges, the gravel's even with them, so the water has no place to go but over them.”
That’s the city clerk Phyllis Harris, who says she watched water pour into her front yard the last time it rained.
And unfortunately for Newburg, it looks like the next round of rain will be faster than FEMA.
Emergency Manager Don Ertle says a representative from FEMA assessed the town's damage on Friday.
If the city gets money, he suspects it will go toward four projects- the storage facility, the two low water bridges, and the pedestrian bridge.
He says it may be more economical to tear some of those structures down and build from scratch.
