Summary
When thunderstorms dumped 6-12 inches of rain on southeastern Missouri, Camp Taum Sauk found itself in crisis as roads vanished under floodwaters. With kids stranded and the Black River surging toward record levels, the Army National Guard swooped in with Black Hawk helicopters to airlift children home safely.

It was a harrowing, high-stakes rescue operation that reminded everyone: nature’s fury moves fast — and preparedness saves lives.
