* At 230 AM CDT, flooding, some significant, continues across the
warned area as a result of very heavy rain Saturday night and
Sunday. This includes the entire Chicago metro, where numerous
roads remain closed. Avoid travel through daybreak, if possible.
Additionally, many area rivers, streams and creeks are still
rising and will remain elevated beyond this morning 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.
