Campers stuck in trees as flash flooding tears through Missouri

Emergency crews in southeastern Missouri conducted multiple water rescues Friday after heavy thunderstorms dumped up to 9 inches of rain, trapping campers in trees and prompting a request for state mutual aid. The National Weather Service issued a catastrophic flash flood emergency for parts of Iron and Reynolds counties. Several roads, including Missouri Route 21 and Highway K, were closed due to flooding up to 5 feet deep. The Lesterville R-IV School District opened its building as a temporary shelter.
