Four Days Of Rain: As Much As 6 Inches In Northwest Indiana, More Than 5 Inches In Suburbs

/ CBS Chicago

CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Chicago area is getting one last round of rain before we finally start drying out, and that could take a while, given that some suburbs saw more than five inches of rain from Saturday through Wednesday morning, and some parts of northwest Indiana got more than six inches.

The DuPage River in west suburban Lisle has flooded, after more than 4 inches of rain in four days, with more on the way. (Credit: CBS)
