Flood April 18, 2013

I and other board members have been on site since 8:30am this morning and monitoring conditions. Here's the first of several video posts.

I've made 31 videos since 8:30 this morning. Some of the ROCs asked me if I had a camera, while the former Communications Director looked on, from the "portico" I had built!

Yes, the current board is prepared, and all of that hard work to deal with drainage issues has paid off.

This is the first video. As I prepare them they will be added to this post. These videos paint a grim picture.

Here is a video of the situation at the south lake.This is the depository for water from the North Lake and CODs wetlands, before it heads south, via underground piping. 

Here are a few videos along the midway points between the North Lake and the South Lakes














Here we are, back at the south lake, which is where all of the runoff from the north lake and the College of DuPage eventually accumulates. From here, it continues on it's path, as controlled by the DuPage County Floodwater control services.
