ST. LOUIS — Flash flooding covered streets, leading to submerged cars and water rescues early Monday morning in parts of the bi-state.
One of the worst spots in the area was along Riverview Drive at Hall Street in north St. Louis. Five cars became partially submerged when they drove into the flooded street.
Fire department rescue teams rushed to the scene to help stuck drivers and passengers safely get out of their cars.
The water was higher than waist-deep as the firefighters waded through the floodwater to check on those who were stuck.
The area was under a flash flood watch at the time of the flooding.
Roads in the area reopened by 11 a.m.
