I was fortunate to not have any water in my house after the recent weekend downpour, but others in my area really had a hard time. These were taken along the DuPage River on the west side of Plainfield 2 days after the crest of the water. It had been over a foot higher than what is shown here. Eight inches of rain adds up to quite a bit when you funnel it into narrow creeks and streams.







Bowman15 will recognize these...
The one-lane bridge on Renwick Road.
There is normally about 12 feet of air underneath this bridge.
Now there is only 3, and it was almost touching 2 days before.




This is looking down theroad to the bridge. Closed.
