What the National Weather Service wrote

This storm report will include the total estimated damages for the flooding event. Numerous low water crossings were damaged due to flood waters and a couple cars were stalled in high water across the county. Several homes were flooded. Several high water rescues were performed.

The wider storm

A stalled frontal boundary led to multiple rounds of thunderstorms which trained over the same areas and produced intense rainfall rates and rainfall totals. Most areas received between one and five inches of rainfall with some localized areas receiving up to 20 inches of rainfall in several days. This caused devastating floods and flash floods with some rivers reaching all time record levels. There were several hundred rescues performed and evacuations of over 500 individuals from their homes across the Missouri Ozarks. Joint agencies from the federal, state, and local assessed over 18 million dollars in damages to property and infrastructure. Over 380 homes and over 130 businesses were damaged due to the floods.

Began near Linn Creek (38.0123, -92.7283).
