Wherabouts did that happen? I work on Golf, across from the mall, and it took me 1.5 hours to find an open east/west street. Golf was closed...Algonquin was closed...Euclid was closed...Higgins was closed...eventually, I wound my way through a subdivision that was literally flooding as I went through it. :p It was somewhere betwee Algonquin and Euclid, and water was pouring onto the road as I drove it. Yeeks!

By the time I got to the open part of Algonquin, the onramps for 53 were starting to go. I saw people driving through 2' of water, and I was like "YOU ARE INSANE."

Where did you get stuck?

I work off of National Parkway and Remington Drive...that intersection was HORRIBLE!

I ended up getting hydro locked in the parking lot of where my work is. the W.O.W. Cable Warehouse.

yea when i have my dad come pick me up after work...there were road closures everywhere.

they werent puddles that day....they were LAKES!!
