The heavy rain in Chicago is really awful today.  They've had 4 to 6 inches in the past 24 hours.  O'Hare had almost 6 inches of rain by mid-morning.  This is the most rain Chicago has ever received in a single day.

There are lots of flooded basements, several roads are underwater, several areas around the city have declared a state of emergency.

I used to love spring.  NOT THIS YEAR!
