Chicago flash flood map, update: Month's worth of rain falls in 90 minutes
Story by Joe Edwards • 3h
 
More than a month's worth of rain fell on Chicago in 90 minutes on Tuesday evening, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

"There were numerous reports of flooded viaducts, several reports of water rescues, and a few reports of flooded basements," the NWS said.

A flash flood warning was issued until 12.45 a.m. on Wednesday for Chicago and Cicero.
 
Why It Matters
The extreme rainfall in Chicago follows deadly floods in Texas' Hill Country last week that have led to the deaths of more than 100 people.

In New Mexico, flash floods also killed at least three people on Tuesday, including two children in the resort village of Ruidoso, according to Reuters.

This hasn't got jack sh*t to do with climate change.  I was in the Naval Weather Service and a flood would have been reported as present weather, not present climate change.  Note how the MSM tried its best to tie Chicago to Texas and New Mexico flash floods.  How areas that are over 1,000 miles apart are tied to the same weather is a mystery.  That's as stupid as tying to connect a blizzard in Antarctica to a snowstorm in Michigan. :3:
