Flash flooding in southeastern Missouri wrecked a campground and carried away about a dozen people, according to local authorities.
The Bearcat Getaway Campground located along the Black River in Lesterville, Missouri, was hit by catastrophic flooding in the southeastern part of the state. The most recent rash of floodwaters destroyed a campground building and around 10 to 17 people were caught in the waters, the Reynold County Sheriff’s Office said in a July 10 release.
Search and rescue operations are actively underway, and this remains a rapidly evolving situation," the sheriff’s office said. "We are grateful for the tireless efforts of the many agencies and responders who worked tirelessly throughout the search and rescue operation."
