Looking toward the Cook County News Herald from a kayak in the Municipal Parking lot.

I parked on the hill and kayaked into the Co Op this morning. Inside, all was dry and warm.

Description:
Weather Warning from the Cook County Sheriff.

Due to flash flooding in Cook County, travel is not advised until road crews
can evaluate and clear roads. Many roads have areas under water. Rushing
water is washing out roadbeds and ditches. Washouts across roads pose a
hazard. Debris washed onto roads pose a hazard. More rain is expected.

Repeat: Travel is not advised until road crews can evaluate and clear
roads.

During the last hour of my show on June 5, I read an announcement of severe weather due overnight. I didn’t give it much thought since there was only a light sprinkling happening.

Madeline and I are at WTIP doing a radio show from 7-10 tonight… the new studio is right across the street from our house!
