Record rainfall caused flash floods in St. Louis and other parts of Missouri, killing one person and trapping several others in their cars and homes. Thunderstorms in the St. Louis metro area received “historic rainfall“ of up to 10 inches, leading to widespread flash flooding and road closures, according to the National Weather Service. The previous daily record of inches was set in 1915 as the remnants of a hurricane moved north. By morning, 8.3 inches of rain had fallen at Lambert Airport. National Weather Service meteorologist Marshall Pfahler said the storm moved into the St. Louis area around midnight and stalled, flooding the same relatively narrow swath. The downpours caused “dangerous, life-threatening flash flooding“ in central and eastern Missouri and southwestern Illinois, according to the National Weather Service. One person has died after being pulled out of a submerged vehicle at a depth of 8.5 feet, St. Louis Fire Chief Dennis Jenkerson said at a news conference Tuesday. According to Jenkerson, property damage was “very significant“ but there were no other injuries. In St. Louis, floodwaters infiltrated homes and cars. Jenkerson said firefighters have rescued or treated more than 70 residents. The department used boats to rescue six residents and six dogs, as well as motorists caught in the flood. In St. Peters, a city northwest of St. Louis, several puppies drowned when a building that housed Stray Paws Adoptables, a stray dog ​​rescue service, flooded. Firefighters on boats managed to rescue other dogs from the building. Part of Interstate 70 near St. Peters was closed Tuesday morning, the Missouri Department of Transportation said. Local law enforcement said that additional roads were closed. At some point, sections of Interstates 64, 55, and 44 were also closed in the St. Louis area. The Missouri Highway Patrol asked drivers to avoid interstate highways in St. Charles and St. Louis counties until after rush hour. Residents of Brentwood, St. Louis County, evacuated after Deer Creek flooded. Rising water threatened homes in Ladue, one of Missouri’s richest cities. And because of the flood, the famous Gate Arch was closed for a day. Flash flood warnings were in effect until noon, with severe thunderstorms possible in parts of Missouri and Illinois in the evening, where more than 12 inches of rain could fall. Forecasters say more storms are possible.
