Black Hawks Rescue Camp Kids from Flood | US News
Description
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. Rescue crews battled rising waters, pulling people from rooftops, trees, and capsized boats — all while Gov. Mike Kehoe declared a state of emergency. It was a harrowing, high-stakes rescue operation that reminded everyone: nature’s fury moves fast — and preparedness saves lives.
