Niles, Morton Grove Flooded; Street Closures; Post Photos Here


Niles is flooded and has streets closed throughout the village, said Niles Police Sgt. Robert Tornabene at about 8:25.

He warned that people should not walk or drive through standing water. 

In Morton Grove, Golf Road is open, said Village Administrator Ryan Horne. 

He said most streets east of Waukegan Road are in good shape. However, Nagle and Kirk on the southeast end of town is flooded. There is also some flooding in the streets that begin with the letter O.

"Every flood is a little different," Horne said. "Last time it was the river effect. This time it seems to be the side street effect."

"Fire and police are out in full force doing what they can to assist."
