Fortunately back home in Des Plaines, my parents don't live as close to the river as most of my friends there do... I'm pretty sure they were all flooded in, one had posted a picture of himself sitting in the nasty water like it was a bath with a showcap and bubbles all around! Another old friend was canoeing in his back yard, typical flood activity for a Des Plainian youth.

Default Fight Urban Flooding

For those of you with wet basements, the Center for Neighborhood Technology has started a campaign to end urban flooding. You can share your stories and photos on our Facebook page here:

We are also in the process of creating a home retrofit program to address basement flooding. Updates about the program will be posted on our Facebook.
