Rescue efforts continued Friday amid roiling floodwaters in parts of southeast Missouri, where nearly a foot of rain fell in some areas earlier in the day and more was expected.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an unfolding event and we\u2019re going to stay here and serve the citizens of Missouri until we get the job done,\u201d said Ernie Rhodes, leader of the federal search-and-rescue cooperative known as Missouri Task Force 1.<\/p>\n

In Reynolds County, a group of about 20 people were on a structure at Bearcat Getaway campground in Lesterville, along the Black River, when it collapsed and put many in the floodwaters, Sgt. Eddie Young of Missouri Highway Patrol said at a news conference Friday.<\/p>\n

He said all have been accounted for and are OK.<\/p>\n

Earlier, five missing campers at the location, about 125 miles south of St. Louis, were accounted for, the Reynolds County Sheriff\u2019s Office said in a statement. During the day\u2019s rescue operations, two boats carrying first responders capsized, but all on board were rescued and safe, the office said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thankful that no serious injuries have been reported,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

First responders have conducted more than 90 rescues in the area, the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n

Water rescues were also taking place in southern Crawford County, the highway patrol said.<\/p>\n

Authorities said rescue efforts are ongoing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not done,\u201d said Young. \u201cAnd the resources are not finished coming into this area and the affected areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the area, a road collapsed and others were shut down due to flooding, the Reynolds County Sheriff\u2019s Office said. It encouraged people to stay away from flooded areas.<\/p>\n

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe issued a flood-related state of emergency Friday. \u201cIf you\u2019re camping, floating, or spending time near rivers and streams, move to higher ground and stay aware of weather conditions,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Flooding was expected to continue overnight, with the Missouri Department of Public Safety issuing flash flood emergency notices for northwest and southern Iron County and northeast Reynolds County.<\/p>\n

As much as 6 inches of rain was possible Friday night, officials said, after the National Weather Service reported 6 to 11 inches fell during the day.<\/p>\n

Young said it was too soon to assess flood damage along the Black River.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe river expanded so far beyond its banks that it\u2019s going to be quite a bit of property damage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A cold front moving eastward is pushing cooler air into summer heat, creating thunderstorms and flash flooding, according to the National Weather Service.<\/p>\n

In Reynolds County, the threat of more flash flooding \u201cremains the top concern through Saturday,\u201d the weather service said.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Areas that flooded Friday are the most susceptible to additional flooding, it said. The storms were expected to move east on Sunday.<\/p>\n
