St. Louis area homeowners stock up on sandbags as more rain hits the region
SUMMARY: As heavy rains continue to pummel the St. Louis area, residents are scrambling to protect their homes. Manuel Moore and his niece joined others collecting free sandbags from the Department of Highways and Transportation.

Cold Water Creek remains a major concern. Elizabeth Redk, still shaken by recent tornado damage, also stocked up. To meet demand, new sandbag sites will open April 7 in Ellisville and on Kors Lane—bring your own shovel.
