Record-breaking rain floods St. Louis

The rain that poured down on St. Louis shattered all-time records going back more than a century. Flooding was so deep on some streets that the tops of cars peeked out like alligator eyes above the water.

Vehicles appeared to float along a portion of Interstate 70. Firefighters paddled along streets in rubber rafts to rescue residents. One person was reported dead.
