SUMMARY: A 2024 Forbes advisor study revealed Missouri as the second riskiest state for driving in the U.S., with Illinois ranking 19th, both struggling with road rage issues. Following a tragic road rage incident in Illinois last month, strategies for avoiding frustration while driving are emphasized. Suggested methods include interrupting negative thoughts, remembering that other drivers may be facing personal issues, practicing deep breathing, and easing muscle tension. Additionally, drivers are encouraged to refrain from using their horns, avoid aggressive drivers, and, if threatened, seek safety at a police station or busy public space.

SUMMARY: Three days after an EF-2 tornado struck Bridgeton, residents are still recovering from the damage, particularly in the St. Gerard Park and St. James neighborhoods, which have been hit by tornadoes three times in 14 years. Homes, including one on Scotch Drive, suffered significant destruction, with trees damaging garages and roofs. While many homes are still without power, some residents, like 89-year-old Glenell Hull, were spared from significant damage. Neighbors have been helping each other clean up, and local facilities like the Bridgeton Recreation Center are offering resources. The tornado left a lasting impact, but the community is coming together.

People are still putting the pieces back together after at least nine tornadoes touched down Friday night in the St. Louis region. Neighbors said it’s going to take weeks for all of the damage to be cleaned up on Scotch Drive.
