Chicago Rain Deluges and Safety Warnings | Chicago News

Published 6 days, 21 hours ago
Description

Chicago’s weekend got drenched—flash floods hit hard, especially in eastern Kendall County with up to four inches of rain, disrupting traffic, flooding homes, and even dampening Lollapalooza’s final day. While Sunday promises a break with temps in the mid-70s and drier skies, this summer’s relentless rain—and last week’s tornadoes—have left many dealing with flood damage. Social media showed alarming water levels in Clarendon Hills and a collapsed retaining wall on the Kennedy Expressway. Officials urge caution around floodwater, warn of electrical dangers and debris, and remind drivers to slow down, avoid cruise control, and call 911 for emergencies—or 311 for non-emergencies like flooded basements. Stay safe: turn on weather alerts, monitor local news, and stay informed when the storm rolls in.
