I'm in the Chicago suburban area at the moment. We're getting some fallout from the "cone" pictured above which shows the northern range of Ike as it peters out till it hits the Atlantic Ocean and disappears.

Two days of solid, unrelenting rain here....still coming down today (Sunday), then back to sunshine on Monday.

Mild flooding in some suburbs, northern Kane county, some in my county, Du Page, underpasses filling, etc. but nothing of any great magnitude.

Hi Leni, thanks for checking in. I heard the rain in IL was originally unrelated to Ike, and now Ike is piling on more. Good book weather.

When are you heading back home to the Sunshine State?

It looks like Ike is moving out so rapidly that it won't be interacting (so far) in a way that will kick up MAJOR amounts of violent weather, at least. That was a real possibility as I read it yesterday. Today most of that likelihood seems to have been dissipated. I hope that holds true - I'm on Ike's exit route, as are quite a few FReepers, including you.

Here's the current tornado watch map (It will update when page is loaded)
