Tarps still cover roofs as Arnold battles heavy rain in the middle of tornado rebuilding
SUMMARY: Arnold is facing heavy rain amidst ongoing tornado rebuilding efforts. Residents, like Sammy Thomas, are concerned about further damage to homes, with many relying on tarps for temporary protection. Thomas’s home, damaged by a March 14 EF2 tornado, remains vulnerable as rain could worsen roof damage. Nearby, the Marramac River flooding and a fallen tree have made some homes unlivable. Thomas is especially worried about the creek in her backyard, which has become dangerously full from the rain. Despite their efforts to reinforce tarps, residents remain anxious as the stormy weather continues.
At Arnold Jaycees Skate Park around 5:15 p.m. on Friday, water was rushing over the paths and through the middle of the space right off Old Lemay Ferry Road.
Some of the hardest hit homes in Jefferson County were near that park after the March 14 tornadoes. They’re now also suffering from heavy rain all while rebuilding is still in the very early stages.

SUMMARY: September is National Preparedness Month, reminding consumers to be cautious of “fly-by-night” contractors who often appear after storms, offering quick repairs for cash upfront but delivering poor or no work. These scammers frequently follow storms into new towns, promising great deals and falsely claiming local connections. The Better Business Bureau advises researching reliable contractors before disasters strike, as post-disaster urgency makes it easy to fall victim. Consumers should also review their insurance coverage to ensure proper protection. Resources like BBB and Ready.gov offer guides for preparedness, helping individuals plan ahead to avoid scams and make informed decisions during stressful times.

SUMMARY: Before debuting with the St. Louis Cardinals, Adam Wainwright had a close brush with the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. In early September 2001, Wainwright and his brother Trey planned a trip to New York City, initially to see a Yankees game that was rained out. Instead, they visited the Empire State Building on Sept. 10, capturing a photo with the World Trade Center behind them. They planned to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sept. 11 but left New York early, narrowly avoiding the attacks. Wainwright later reflected on seeing smoke from the tragedy during their drive. He pitched for the Cardinals from 2005-2023, winning 200 games.
