I took this photograph a few hours ago on the campus of Oakton Community College in Des Plaines, Illinois. That's the swollen Des Plaines River in the picture, which has flooded portions of Kenosha County in far-southern Wisconsin. The Fox River, which also flows into Illinois, has also caused serious flooding in southern Wisconsin.
In isolated spots in the Chicago area, the Des Plaines has gone over its banks. Experts on the Illinois side of the border are cautiously optimistic that the flooding plaguing Wisconsin won't hit here, but heavy rain is in tonight's forecast, the clouds are darkening as I write this post.
