Southeast Missouri Floods Hit Hard | St. Louis News

Southeast Missouri just endured a catastrophic flood—over a foot of rain in 24 hours, labeled a once-in-a-thousand-years event. Iron and Reynolds counties took the hardest hit, with dangerous flash flooding swallowing towns, campgrounds, and popular spots. First responders pulled 350 people from rising waters, and sadly, one life was lost in Crawford County. Rescue crews are still battling through the weekend, especially near Lesterville, with more rain looming. The American Red Cross has opened a shelter in Centerville to offer food, safety, and support to displaced families. If you’re affected, reach out to Red Cross or local authorities now.
