The National Guard has scrambled to rescue over 200 campers trapped by floodwaters.
Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe declared a state of emergency on Friday as rapidly rising floodwaters threatened the Camp Taum Sauk summer camp, 100 miles southwest of St. Louis, prompting the National Guard to evacuate children by helicopter.
Also airlifted to safety were around 20 campers who had climbed to the roof of a collapsed building at the Barecat Getaway campground in Reynolds County.
