Several roads look like rivers in Eureka, Missouri, after heavy rain pushed through the area early Monday morning.
The view from 5 On Your Side's Rhyan Henson showed two cars in deep water. At one point, the standing water was almost up to the bottom of the window of one of the cars.
The Eureka fire chief said emergency crews ended up rescuing people from three vehicles after they drove into high water. Emergency crews are blocking streets to make sure drivers stay safe and don't try to pass through flooded areas.
Flash flooding affected parts of Frisco Avenue and Main Street, but Central Avenue was hit the hardest. The fast-rising water has flooded several businesses along the popular stretch of road. According to the Eureka Missouri Community Facebook page, the businesses affected by flash flooding include Joe Boccardi's, La Finca Coffee and O'Dell's Irish Pub & Ale House.
