Following the landfall of Hurricane Gustav along the Louisiana coast, Gustav's extra-tropical circulation tracked directly into southern Missouri.  The remnant moisture from Gustav created widespread rainfall amounts ranging from two to six inches across the region.  Pre-existing dry soil conditions and thick summertime vegetation limited flooding from becoming widespread and significant.  However, some localized flooding was observed.  One tornado occurred in the community of Chain of Lakes in southeast Barry County. Minor damage occurred and the tornado was rated as an EF-0.
