Re: Chicago flooding........
I saw they closed 55th Street (east of Fairview I think) - thought that might have affected you Rick.....sounds like many other areas are pretty bad too.

Re: Chicago flooding........
its pretty bad out where I live (30 miles west of downtown in the burbs), fox river is out over its banks more than I ever have seen, neighbors are sand bagging around their houses, some have lost the fight. My neighbor with a 6 pack 70 charger already relocated the car as it would have been up in the interior by now. I live up on a ridge, but many do not. Its pretty bad. and the fox river is still rising.

Given the option, I'll take snow.

Re: Chicago flooding........
Finally landed in Chicago yesterday after three cancelled flights from Orlando, FL. I had been hearing news stories but was totally shocked to see what it looked like from the air. The pilot came on and stated that we were getting ready to land and I thought no way as this looks like northern Canada with all the wetlands. Turns out we were flying 35 miles west of Chicago. Streets flooding all around Chicago. I would have loved to have photographed it but due to the number of people on board and me getting to the gate as they were closing the door meant my carry on had to be checked.
