Was in town (Rosemont) for meetings. As we looked out of the building Mgrs.office window on Brynn Mawr, we could literally watch as the water was rising, and it had already reached to driveway area of the Hyatt. The parking structure across the street was already closed, with about a foot of water on the ground level and N. River and all surrounding streets were closed down.

Luckily, I was able to "escape" and hit 294 and head out. Hoping the water subsides and all who are dealing with this mess are OK.

Be safe up there and be safe along the rivers south of there as well, Here in Cape Girardeau Mo, they are predicting a 43 foot river crest on the Mississippi, so all the flooding is going south, everyone be safe

Man that's a sad situation. Lots of folks down here have some short-term Lakefront Property too.

More rain coming our way Tuesday. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

Gene's &amp; Jude's area always floods when excessive rain hits.
No surpise...they sit lower then the Des Plaines river.
I have one taken there in August 1987....That was a monsoon.
