Re: Hurricane Ike !

Northern Illinois and northwest Indiana are still waiting for the water to go down. Traffic reports on the way in have I 65 north closed for 70 miles, and the main east west road I80/94 is still closed between Illinois and Indiana. The Indiana tollway is free so that traffic can get by the flooding. Munster is pretty much closed although there are some areas that are dry. The levees on the Little Calumet didn't fail, the water just is so high it went right over. The north branch of the Chicago River is still very high and the neighborhood near where I work is still under water. My main road to the station finally opened this morning but the water is just a few inches from the street.
