Storms, rain rake Missouri, 1 dies in flash flooding - Columbia Missourian
Lee's Summit Fire Chief Rick Poeschl said two tornadoes touched down, damaging a strip mall's roof and breaking windows, though no injuries were reported. Lee's Summit North High School had minor damage, and a fireworks tent was blown over. Several rivers remain well above flood stage. The Mississippi River is starting to recede, while more rain is expected to cause the Missouri River to rise again in eastern Missouri. The National Weather Service projects that the Missouri River will reach more than 8 feet above flood stage in Hermann on Friday and nearly 7 feet above flood stage in St. Charles on Saturday. • Don't use obscene, profane or vulgar language. • Don't use language that makes personal attacks on fellow commenters or discriminates based on race, religion, gender or ethnicity. • If you see something objectionable, please click the Report link on the comment(s).
