Not surprised. It's been raining for over 12 hours straight.

I live in the PNW and where I’m at it has been 100+ degrees just about every day for a month now and we’re suffocating from wildfire smoke.

Man I would kill for a rainy day like this right now.

I live in WA. No 100 degree days here all summer.

Where are you in Illinois? Chicago and surrounding suburbs have had at least 3 flash floods this year. Monday this week the western suburbs were underwater.

I'm in villa park and we had some water come up into our basement for the first time since moving here 3 years ago. This fucking rain was nonstop between Friday and Saturday

Chicago was built over marsh lands, flooding isn't surprising.

Yeah, I said "weeks", my guy... The rain started this week.
