Sandbag traffic jam

2:00 p.m. 9/23/05    Sandbag traffic jam

Shreveport Police Department spokesperson Kacee Hargrave advises people to only pick up sandbags on Mansfield Road if they’ve flooded in the past. She said there are lines of people trying to get sandbags. They have enough, but the rush is causing traffic to back up. She said if they want sandbags, be prepared for a long wait.
