Two fatalities are now reported and a third person is being searched for in Montgomery County following flash flooding caused by last night’s torrential rainfall in the northern part of the county.  Two male bodies, a father and son, were found in a vehicle near the Elk City reservoir.  Meanwhile authorities are still looking for a third person in Independence.  A car was found in a flooded area with the windows rolled down but no one inside.  Further information is expected to be released by the Montgomery County Sheriff later today.  In addition to the fatalities the Independence Fire Department responded to an estimated 40 to 50 water rescues.  They also responded to a structure fire that is believed to have been started by lightning. 7 to 12 inches of rain fell in the northern part of the county last night.
