Your Morning Wake-Up Call for July 23, 2011
By Chuck Sudo in News on Jul 23, 2011 1:30PM
How many of you like us, have been awake since that thunderstorm rolled through the city? It's pretty much wreaked som havoc with traffic and the "L." Right now there's no Red Line service between 95th and 79th. Blue Line service between Rosemont and O'Hare is SOL. Pink Line service between 54th/Cermak and Pulaski is out right now, as well. There was also flooding on area expressways and reports of funnel cloud touchdowns in the western suburbs. A flash flood warning is in effect until 12:30 p.m.
As for the rest of the day, if you thought the storms would provide relief from the heat, think again. These rains are only serving to increase the dew points, we're walking in soup today. And there's more rain coming.
