localized amounts in excess of four to five inches. While most of
this heavy rain has drained off, some flooding remains.

near underpasses and low spots include...

Plaines, Oak Lawn, Berwyn, Mount Prospect, Wheaton, Hoffman
Estates, Oak Park and Downers Grove.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded
roads. Find an alternate route.

Please report flooding to your local law enforcement agency when you
can do so safely.
