The remnants of Tropical Storm Erin produced significant flash flooding along a line from northern Jasper County to northern Laclede County. Numerous roads were washed out across Lawrence, Greene, Polk, Dallas, and Webster counties. This prompted several water rescues. One man was killed in Laclede County as he attempted to cross a section of a road that had been washed out from flood water.
