Missouri Floods Leave Hundreds Rescued | St. Louis News

Floodwaters surged through southern Missouri, trapping over 100 people in homes, campgrounds, and on rooftops as rivers like the Black River rose to unprecedented levels overnight. In Reynolds County alone, nearly 90 rescues were conducted as roads vanished under water and towns like Lesterville became cut off. The flooding moved with terrifying speed, leaving residents stranded and some forced to wait on rooftops. As waters began to recede Friday morning, new dangers emerged — a collapsed road, a sinking campground building, and even rescue boats that gave way — but no lives were lost. Operations continue across the region, with one person still missing in Crawford County. If you need help, contact your local emergency center.
