[STORMREPORTS] Chicago/Midwest Flooding

From: Jesse Ferrell (WeatherMatrix) (jesse{at}weathermatrix.net)

Doppler radar estimates show in excess of a foot of rain locally, and at
least half a foot, from Dubuque IA through Rockford IL and over Lake
Michigan.

>From the Chicago Tribune: "Drenching rain storms soaked parts of
northern Illinois early today, snarling traffic and causing power
outages. Rain flooded roads from Galena to Chicago and parts of two
Chicago-area expressways — Interstates 290 and 94 — were closed for a
time because of flooding. Trains on part of Chicago's subway system also
had to be rerouted because of the storms. The National Weather Service
in Chicago issued a flood warning for nine northern Illinois counties."
