If you haven’t gotten a look outside yet this morning, it’s wet out there! Keeping that in mind there is a lot of localized flooding in the Village while the storm drains are trying to keep up with the flooding. Please remember NEVER drive through a flooded roadway. Find alternate means around. This is especially true with the Champaign street viaduct, which we are happy to report as of 0800hrs today is clear!
