We have some heavy rain in the area. Unless you must travel, I recommend staying indoors.

Good advice, Newper. I've also closed all our windows.

Now's the time to sell. Can list my yard as waterfront property... actually got the "schools closed" call due to rain for first ever.

one of our receiving docks looks like a giant swimming pool

i have no idea what it's like outside since it's so dark but since being up this morning all i've heard are sirens.

same here with the sirens, once it got a little light out (and people started waking up?), its been constant fire and police.

It's a Bernsie mix, of course it's smart.

Dan Ryan is fucked
87th street exit is closed
Clark is closed north of Congress
Fun times

I woke up at 5:30 to the sound of my gutters overflowing. I have a cone shaped screen in the downspout, so it doesn't get clogged from the buds that the maple tree drops. There were so many buds in the gutter, that the water couldn't drain fast enough. So, I grabbed the fiberglass ladder and removed the screen.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

crazy, chus.

all kinds of shit going on today...i couldn't get out of my area to go to work, so had to call out. it's finally brightening out a tad though. doesn't feel like it's the middle of the night.

I had a similar situation happen on Tuesday indoors. Went into the laundry room and nearly broke my neck because the floor was soaking wet. What could be the problem? The lint catcher on the washer drain had filled so full of lint that the water wasn't getting through anymore, and it was backing out of the top of it, running down the hose and all over the floor. Filters are great except when they filter too much (and the user forgets to change them!)

Earthworms are on all the sidewalks in Naperville. It's really icky. Like, really icky.

Rte 45 is flooded in 5-6 spots in Lake County...going to be interesting trying to get home this afternoon. Had to drive in the opposite lane at the Village of Vernon Hills. Indian Creek is cresting. All ponds are full and discharging at their overflows.

Butterfield Road near Oakbrook is about 30 mins away from being underwater in some areas. I'm not sure what all the Audi's, Mercedes and BMW's are going to do.

Little Cal river in NWI already has gone over the banks. Time to see if the millions they spent actually works now...

Deerfield Road going east of Milwaukee is closed for construction. Shit ton of lights were out on Lake Cook. Des Plaines River is already up to people's houses. Gnarly shit.

Edit: Driving north on Milwaukee just before Deerfield saw a Ambulance fall into a sink hole in a parking lot or something. The front right tire sank into something and back tires were in the air. Super gnarly shit.

I had a demo in plainfield at 6am.

Van Dyke, 127th and some others are totally flooded. Retention ponds can retain no more.

few people got stuck by the wal mart.

Not with that attitude they can't.

I designed a building just north of the tracks and south of the creek on the west side of Van Dyke.



Kirkwood...you're a Northern Suburber?
Which side of Milwaukee for the ambulance?
