I am now glad I live on a hill. Things are not as bad here in the NW suburbs, but still, I have never seen so much rain! The river about 2 miles from my house is up over the banks, but not causing any horrible damage like in Denise's area. There was a small wettish spot in the corner of my basement, where my family room is, but we pulled up the carpet last night and it is now dry. We have a shed that is a miniature version of the house (very mini) where we keep our bikes (it used to be a garden shed, i think). Yesterday, my husband swept out 4 inches of water. All of the bikes were hanging except mine, so he cleaned it and put it up. I went to the gym!
Definitely no riding here. Tomorrow I am supposed to lead a beginner ride at 6 PM, but I am not sure if it will be a go. It's not raining now, but there are predicted t-storms for late afternoon.
