Volunteers hastily work to build a wall of sandbags along Illinois 3 on Sunday, May 1, 2011 in Olive Branch, Ill. Rising floodwaters were only inches from spilling over the opposite side of the highway. Residents hoped the wall would protect homes adjacent to the road, many of which are already surrounded by water on three sides.
