Springfield

I drove across the states and back via tiny little back-roads, and noticed something very interesting.
most of the older small towns were named after a water theme.
Springfield
Clearwater
Bitter creek
nnnn falls
nnnn rapids

and you could see them twenty miles across the plains because of a ginormous water tower, that has the towns name on it

very nice

Worst hit was Springfield, the third largest city in the state, where 33 injuries were reported. A state of emergency has been declared and the National Guard has been called in.

I hope Homer and his family are OK.
