10 hours ago
Severe flooding in Missouri has left one woman dead and forced hundreds of people to evacuate after days of heavy rainfall swept across parts of the state.
Authorities say the woman was swept away after a house was ripped from its foundation by fast-moving floodwaters.
More than 200 children and staff members were airlifted from a summer camp as rising water surrounded the property. At another campground, about 20 people were rescued after a building collapsed during the storm.
Forecasters warned the threat was far from over, with the slow-moving storm system expected to bring additional heavy rain, flash flooding and severe thunderstorms to several other states.
