Flooding forced hundreds of people to flee their homes and closed scores of roads Wednesday across a wide swath of the nation’s midsection as a huge storm system poured as much as 10 inches of rain on the region.

Four deaths were linked to the flooding in Missouri, a search was under way in Texas for a teenager washed down a drainage pipe, and two people were missing in Arkansas after their vehicles were swept away by rushing water.
