St. Louis reels from another round of dangerous floodwaters that damaged homes
Amid record-breaking rainfall, St. Louis resident Margaret Shellert is facing the full brunt of devastating back-to-back flooding events this week.
After the region was hit with torrential rains Monday and Tuesday, a second round of storms Thursday exacerbated conditions even further for her and many in the city.
“My house has never, ever flooded. Never got water in it. This is the first time ever,” Shellert told CNN affiliate KMOV. “All my floors are ruined, furniture’s ruined, all appliances are ruined.”
The distressing flooding striking her and her neighbors comes as storms slammed the St. Louis area Thursday, submerging part of the city in 7 feet of floodwaters and trapping some residents in their homes, officials said.
