Chicago flooding

As the weather is STILL trying to decide wether or not to be summer or winter a huge rain storm sweaps through the Chicago area. Just over night about 5 inches made its way to the ground not only watering the ground, hopefully for  awarm summer, but also causing a water main to break. Which in turn turnt into a sink hole with at least 3 cars inside of it.

The storm that sweap through the chicago area, also other areas, left hundreds of dollars in damage. Not only did a water main pipe broke, but also flooding some of the town. The Mayor put into effect a state of emergency and some people were forced to leave there homes until after the storm had passed. Not only are cars incapable of driving on about 7 main streets but many flights how to be cancelled inorder to preserve safety for those that may be boarding the flights because of the height of the water.

People in Chicago are doing the best they can to deal with this issue, but there is only soo much they can do to try and control what happens with this situation. Alot of schools are closed due to flooding and not being able to pick up the children. People within chicago have also been urged to take minimual amount of showers, dishes, and laundry until the flooding has gone down and the water main has been fixed.
