UNDATED (AP) — Deadly flooding continues throughout the region, prompting water rescues, closing roads and schools, damaging buildings, and fostering worry over pets.

In southwest Missouri, flash flooding was reported in southern Barry and Stone counties, including Roaring River State Park, after an estimated 6 inches of rain fell early Thursday.

Western Taney County Fire Chief Chris Berndt says rescue workers have evacuated three areas along Turkey Creek.

Floodwaters along Turkey Creek  washed one or two mobile homes downstream. Berndt says several businesses and homes in Hollister have water damage.

The Southern Stone County Fire Protection District reports it has evacuated 22 people from a campground near Blue Eye. Campgrounds in Roaring River State Park in Barry County also are being evacuated. No injuries have been reported.

Interstate 44 near Jerome reopened Thursday. More than 40 roads, mostly in central Missouri, are closed.

Heavy rain this week has caused severe flooding in Waynesville. Inclement weather forced the Gov. Jay Nixon to postpone a visit to the area.

The St. Louis-based Humane Society’s Disaster Response Team arrived in Waynesville Wednesday with a trailer that can temporarily house up to 100 animals.

As of Wednesday night, there were 35 dogs, 10 cats and a rabbit owned by people displaced by flooding. The Humane Society also agreed to take 15 adoptable dogs from the Waynesville shelter, opening space to temporarily house pets owned by those affected by flooding.

The stray dogs will be brought to St. Louis and made available for adoption.

Much of soggy south central Kansas remains under a flood warning as more rain is forecast to fall into already full waterways.

The National Weather Service says 5 to 6 inches of rain fell early Thursday in Clark and Ford counties. Several county roads are impassable, particularly near Kingsdown and Blooms. In Sedgwick, Harper, Sumner, Kingman and Reno counties, between 3 and 4 inches of rain have fallen since midnight, and another 2 to 3 inches are possible.

The high water closed about 40 campsites at the Marion Reservoir and park officials said reservations in the Cottonwood Point and Hillsboro cove are cancelled until Aug. 29.
