Thunderstorms drenched the St. Louis metro area in a "historic rainfall" of up to 10 inches causing widespread flash flooding and forcing roads to close, the National Weather Service said. The previous daily record of 6.85 inches was set in 1915 when remnants of a hurricane moved north; by Tuesday morning, 8.3 inches of rain had fallen at Lambert Airport.

The rainfall sparked "dangerous life-threatening flash flooding" across across central and eastern Missouri and southwest Illinois, according to the National Weather Service.
