September 5, 200619 yr Wow, I have never seen as much rain as I saw on Monday. It poured for about four hours, and there was a tornado warning. I was back in Rockford for the weekend and there was an intersection that looked like a lake, there were three cars stuck with water up to the windows! The fire department was going around in boats picking up people who were stranded. My basement got some water, but that's it.
September 5, 200619 yr Yeah there was like a 5 minute shower in Streamwood, it was quite the inconvenience.
September 5, 200619 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 12:17 AM) Yeah there was like a 5 minute shower in Streamwood, it was quite the inconvenience. I went out to dinner tonight, and sat near a window at the rear of the restraunt. In the middle of the meal, I got up to go the bathroom at the front of the restaurant, and noticed it was pouring outside the front doors. When I returned to my seat, I looked outside again, and the pavement was clearly dry. It wasn't raining at the back of the restaurant. The skies were dark, but for about 5 minutes, it was only raining on half of the building.

September 5, 200619 yr I got to drive through some of it coming home from camping. There was just enough of a break in the weather for us to get packed up and head home. Then we got home just in time to hear the sirens go off for the tornado warning.
September 5, 200619 yr ive got a lot of friends back home in ROCKFORD... looks like it stayed on the west side of the rock river, where they do not reside... however, its kind of sad seeing all of this happen in the ol' stompin' grounds.
