Wet
We had a bit of rain last night and this morning.
The sump pump didn't want to turn on, and there's some modest seepage in the basement, but the house is fine.
We missed the worst of it, but we went to go gawk.
We were supposed to be going to a party at my boss's house today - south of Joliet. Not much of a chance of getting there, though. Even with the water blocking our street gone, we couldn't even get out of our neighborhood.
The expressways are blocked...
and some people didn't quite make it.
We'd even have a hard time getting across town, because trains were still running and the underpass was blocked.
Elmhurst does have a river, Salt Creek, but this is supposed to be a roadway.
I wonder if the cars trapped under the water will get parking tickets.
On our way back home a bunch of people asked us for our advice in how to get out of the traffic jam. All we could come up with was "go home."
