Firefighters across the St. Louis region were busy with water rescues. A section of Interstate 70 was closed in St. Peters, and many other roadways were flooded. Some vehicles were completely submerged.

The fire department said on Twitter that six people and six dogs were rescued by boat, while 15 others declined to leave their homes. In the St. Louis County town of Brentwood, residents were forced to evacuate when Deer Creek overflowed. Rising waters also threatened homes in Ladue, one of the wealthiest cities in Missouri.National Weather Service meteorologist Marshall Pfahler said a storm that moved into the St. Louis area around midnight that stalled and kept pouring water over the same relatively narrow band.
"You have this swath of up to 10-inch amounts, and a county or two south they had a trace or even less," Pfahler said.We have already seen the most rainfall in one day in STL history - and it’s just 8am.
