Heavy rainfall and widespread flooding wreaked havoc across parts of Missouri on Friday, necessitating the helicopter evacuation of over 200 children and staff from a summer camp, alongside the rescue of approximately 20 individuals from a collapsed campground building.
The severe weather left more than 200 children and staff stranded at Camp Taum Sauk in the small southeastern community of Lesterville, with nearby roads rendered impassable and further rain anticipated.
