Missouri flooding kills 1 as helicopters rescue 200 at camp

What's new: Roads washed out around Camp Taum Sauk, and more storms threatened parts of Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia into Sunday.

Heavy flooding in Missouri left one woman dead and forced large-scale rescues after torrential rain swept across parts of the state. In Lesterville, the Army National Guard used Black Hawk helicopters to evacuate more than 200 children and staff from Camp Taum Sauk after roads washed out around the site. The Missouri State Highway Patrol also rescued people along the Black River, including campers who climbed onto a building before it collapsed and three people stranded in trees. In Crawford County, volunteers found the body of Faith Gregory after floodwaters swept her home from its foundation. The National Weather Service warned that slow-moving storms could bring more flash flooding across the Ohio and Tennessee valleys into Sunday.
