Wider weather episode

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.
