CONTAINS DATED MATERIAL! Flooding is creating major problem in parts of the Twin Cities, especially in the east metro where the St. Croix and Mississippi rivers crest projections continue to increase. As the water rises municipal crews along with growing numbers of volunteers are beefing up dikes and levees, pumping flood water BACK into rivers AND filling thousands of sandbags. The Stillwater lift bridge over the St. Croix is also closed.
