As storm hits, suburbs prepare for flooding

February 20, 2014

Fears that a combination of heavy rain and melting snow could turn streets into rivers have area towns and residents taking what steps they can to reduce the threat of flooding. Public works crews were busy Wednesday clearing snow and ice from storm sewer inlets in an effort to keep water flowing where it's supposed to go. The National Weather Service issued a flood watch that was scheduled to begin early Thursday morning and continue through at least 6 p.m. for Cook, DuPage, Kane and Will counties.
