Hoosier Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Low level winds are backed out ahead of where that Lee county storm will be heading, so we'll see how long it can maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 20 minutes ago, Chicago Storm said: There has been a significant meso with the storm moving across Lee Co, with associated WAA wing extending eastward into the Chicago metro. The same meso that passed just north of here an hour ago or so. Looks like a tor touched down in Henry CO earlier. CC showed a debris sig as the weak couplet passed south of Atkinson. I'm sure DVN will confirm a birdfart EF0 tomorrow. Up to 3.09". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Still one well pronounced couplet as it is about to enter Kane Co. Looks like on the current track, it will come about 15min driving distance from here. If it holds on a bit longer, might have to take a drive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 ~2" of rain at ORD in the past hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Worst and most significant/widespread flooding I have experienced here is ongoing. Most roads are several blocks in which they are partially to fully underwater, many with feet of standing or flowing water...with many closed. The nearby creek flooded a large park complex, which has backed up onto a nearby road. There is one stretch of a nearby road where several blocks are under feet of water, with cars submerged to above their windows and water is entering homes. Up until now the period of tropical remnants of Sept 2008 featured the worst flooding I had seen around here, but this has now topped that. In that case it was 10"+ of rain over a longer span of time, where this was 4"+ of rain in the past 24hrs...and nearly 2"/hr at one point tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Model consensus is around 2" between tonight and Monday for Northeast IN.We had a bunch of roads closed out this way yesterday. River went up over the road back near Sun River Terrace.

Juggling working 12 hour days and helping my parents suck water out of their basement is tiring. And they have a sump pump. This is going on 6 years of unprecedented rainfall in IKK.
