Saturday, April 22, is National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. Medication drop boxes will be staffed and available for take-back from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the St. Louis County Sheriff's offices in Virginia and Hibbing. Medications to be disposed of should be brought in in their
original containers with any personal identifying information crossed off.

Highway 29 north of Floodwood has been closed near the Stremmel Road  intersection (just east of the TH 73 intersection) due to flooding. This is a paved road and is the primary route between Floodwood and Meadowlands. It runs alongside the St. Louis River, which is overflowing its banks and covering the road at this location.
