Hopefully the worst is over and the water will continue to drop. But depending on how long the power stays out, I might be a (temporary and very fortunate) climate change refugee tonight.

Water levels have continued to fall and electricity is back on. Thanks to City of Chicago and ComEd crews for their great work today!
