Historic rainfall in St. Louis that prompted the city’s first flash flood emergency Tuesday broke another record that was originally set by a tropical system more than a century ago. According to the National Weather Service, more than 9 inches of rain fell in St. Louis as of early Tuesday afternoon. That trounced the previous 24-hour rainfall record for the city of 6.85 inches set in 1915. See more photos from the 1915 flood at the link in bio. #stlwx #stlouisfood #stlouis #mowx
