Parts of Illinois and Indiana are experiencing such a horrific drought this year that they likely welcome the rain - no matter how much they get.
Their crops were already ruined but this rain gives them a new start for next year.
The only problem is whether the ground is too dry to accept a lot of rain and whether most of it will run off into the creeks, lakes and rivers of the area.
OTOH, those bodies of water are at very low levels too.
FWIW, flood warnings have been posted for southern Indiana for at least two hours now.
Just drove to Indy and back to take cousin to the airport....Lots of rain, some wind ...More crazy drivers than any thing....Why would the occupant of the black car think he could drive 75+ in a fifty-five zone and not end up crashing into something?...Prayers for him and the folks in the car he hit.
