* At 1010 PM CDT, law enforcement, media and public reports indicate
widespread flooding, some significant, is ongoing across the
warned area as a result of very heavy rain since Saturday evening.
This includes the entire Chicago metro, where numerous roads
remain closed. Flooding will be more difficult to recognize during
the night. Avoid travel through tonight, if possible.
Additionally, many area rivers, streams and creeks will continue
to rise and remain elevated well into Monday as a result of
additional runoff.
* Some locations that are experiencing flooding include...
Chicago, Aurora, Joliet, Naperville, Elgin, Waukegan, Cicero,
Hammond, Gary, Arlington Heights, Evanston, Schaumburg,
Bolingbrook, Palatine, Skokie, Des Plaines, Orland Park, Tinley
Park, Oak Lawn and Berwyn.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.
Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.
Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as
well as other drainage areas and low lying spots.
