CHICAGO FLOODING

Widespread, all-day rain Sunday in Chicago led to heavy and dangerous flooding across the city. And as standing water pooled in areas like under viaducts and even in basements, some streets saw water shooting up from the ground.

Widespread, all-day rain Sunday in Chicago led to heavy and dangerous flooding across the city. And as standing water pooled in areas like under viaducts and even in basements, some streets saw water shooting up from the ground.

A day after Chicago saw some of its most ‘significant’ flooding in two years, another soggy day is in store for Monday.

Iisha Scott has the latest forecast.

Some parts of Chicago received up to five inches of rain on Sunday, causing widespread flooding and damage across the city.

While there were only a handful of severe thunderstorms across the Chicago area on Wednesday night, several locations reported storm damage, and a series of flash flood warnings have been issued after several inches of rain fell across the region.

Several vehicles were stuck Tuesday after viaducts flooded in Chicago, and NBC 5’s Regina Waldroup has more on the story.
