MARYVILLE, Mo. (AP) — Authorities have rescued several people from flooded Missouri roads and a campground after heavy rains caused waters to rise, sending cattle floating over a highway.

National Weather Service hydrologist Scott Watson said from 8 to 11 inches of rain fell from Wednesday night through Thursday morning in a five-county area in northwest Missouri, with smaller totals elsewhere.

One of the rescues happened in Nodaway County, where the sheriff’s office said on its official Facebook page that Maryville officers used a personal watercraft to save a man who drove his pickup truck into swift-moving water. The post said the man was heard screaming and that only his head was above water when authorities arrived.

Water rescues also were reported in Gentry and Daviess counties.
