Flood waters from storms that have killed nine people in Missouri in the last week inundated farmland and closed roads in three states, officials said.

Major flooding also was reported along the Kankakee and White rivers in Indiana, and the National Weather Service said the Sangamon and Illinois rivers in central Illinois were rising toward the second highest levels on record.
