Instant Sandbags: This Could Work

"CLARKSVILLE, Mo. - Sitting at the corner of Howard Street and Highway 79 is a plywood shipping crate that inventor Al Arellanes says holds the answer to future battles against floods along the Mississippi River and elsewhere.

" 'It deploys in one second,' Arellanes said of his product, known as RDFW, for Rapid Deployment Flood Wall, and manufactured by Geocell, his San Francisco-based company...."

Looks like a good idea. And, this is a great year for testing the thing. Not that anyone who lives along the Mississippi south of here is likely to see it that way.
