The rain has been incessant the last couple of days, prompting flooding, flash flood warnings and the like but witnessing the effects of it up close and personal is something else.

This video is crazy from WGN; showing when the concrete on Jefferson Street cracked between Monroe and Adams:

If you are the person in the video or know who it is, I would like to buy you a Q Street beer, that was some incredibly quick reacting.

P.S. Put a hold on showers and laundry, Friends of the Chicago River dubbed today an “Overflow Action Day,” and is calling on locals to reduce the time they spend in the shower, turn off faucets and flush less, among other things, for the time being.  More from Block Club Chicago HERE.

If it’s yellow let it mellow people.   <3 Lauren
