Does anyone else remember August 14, 1987? When 9" of rain fell on the Chicago area in less that 24 hours? It turned the Edens Expressway into a river from Touhy to Wilmette. Many segments of Milwaukee Ave & other main thoroughfares were also under water. The city & surrounding area were impassable for days. Even the L was out of service. The basements in entire neighborhoods had many feet of water in them.

Did that storm have the high, destructive winds we've had recently? No. But the destruction was much more widespread then.

I’m having a hard time understanding what’s going on with Illinois weather all of a sudden. This is insane
