Porter Ave was like whitewater rapids...
Some moron tried making it through via car...he didn't make it.
Carter wanted to walk into it....see video below...it was very fast moving.
Video of Porter Ave flooding...craziness!
The beach, just starting to be breached by the DuPage River...
Within a couple hours, the breach was completely consumed...note the height of the slide in the picture above, compared to below. 20ft of water poured in very fast!
Video of flooding in process...was actually a nice looking waterfall.
Connor, walking home from school, no chance of park time today.
The other park, across the Jefferson St bridge.
Riverwalk evacuated...and this picture was before DuPage County opened the dam upstream.
Eagle St Bridge...all bridges eventually closed making travel by car near impossible.
Dick Tracy headed upstream....
A day later, water still rising, overtaking Jackson Ave.
Egg Harbor just skirted the water...and remained open.
This is about the peak height on Friday morning...
