A recorded amount of rain has poured down on the St. Louis area overnight. The area has recorded 7.02 inches of rainfall since midnight, which surpassed the old record of 6.85 inches set almost 107 years ago on August 20, 1915.

The heavy rain will continue for St. Louis and its surrounding areas through the morning as thunderstorms sit over Missouri.

The fire department also said there were several vehicles trapped in high water with rescue squads responding in small boats.

As of 7 a.m. local time, St. Louis Fire Department confirmed they had responded to approximately 18 homes with flooding and trapped occupants.

The Forest Park-DeBaliviere train station was seen completely submerged in photos, with water rising above the platforms.
