Some parts of Chicago received up to five inches of rain on Sunday, causing widespread flooding and damage across the city.
taken near Montrose and Harding avenues, water apparently burst through a pipe and shot out skyward. In another video, a similar scene played out near Lawrence Avenue and Pulaski Road, where parked vehicles were left sitting in a pool of the gushing water.
One neighbor on Claremont said about four inches of water got into their basement. They were still trying to dry it out Sunday evening, and were forced to rip out all of their carpet. Meanwhile, flooding on the first floor of a nursing home on Western Avenue in Lincoln Square forced some residents to temporarily relocate, Castro said.
The city’s Office of Emergency Management and Communications said roads remained opened as they continued to monitor weather conditions. The OEMC also advised residents to use caution and avoid driving through standing water on streets, viaducts and low-lying areas.
