Wow,
I hope everyone makes it out of this terrbile weather ok. It's sad to see so much damage and car's totaled. The good news is cars can be replaced...

Good luck, my garage is about to get flooded. I hope not, but so far, I have damage to my interior bathroom wall, and my craw space has water too...

i watched the news and heard that all the rain in the past few days has no relationship with the storm in texas.... but it might make its way up here... or whats left of it...which means more rain...

So while I was at work my gf and her best friend went to check out Armstrong Park in Carol Stream (which is not even a 5min drive from my gf's house) how bad is the flood here? You be the judge....

as you can see this use to be a basketball court and tennis court right next to it.


football field....


baseball field....

wow, thats horrible, makes me glad I live the elevated part of the city cause I didn't see any type of flooding in my area or anywhere I went, seems the suburbs got hit really bad. Barrington road and irving park, where that lil lake is, it overflowed into the street and past it across into cub food lawl.

PS: Hope insurance pays u guys out in full.
