high water IMG 7335

A fast-moving severe weather cell caused some flooding in the Elgin area late Monday afternoon. The rain came down hard and was accompanied with high winds and periods of hail. Here, Jack Wemhoff stepped out on to Cedar Street in Elgin. He said that, at one point, the water was knee high on him. This portion of Cedar Street, along with several other areas around Elgin, are prone to flooding during heavy rains.
