Missouri Floods Claim Lives, Including Poll Workers, Amid Levee Threat

At least five people, including a couple in their 70s who were election poll workers, died in Missouri due to flash flooding caused by torrential rains. The storm system, which also spawned tornadoes in Oklahoma and Arkansas, led to widespread flooding and numerous water rescues. In Wright County, the couple's vehicle was swept away by flooding, while two other deaths occurred in St. Louis County. The National Weather Service reported likely tornadoes in Oklahoma and Arkansas, but no fatalities from those events.
