Below are some arial photos a local weather spotter took and then doesn't even account for 2-3" of rain we got last night and 3-5" they're expecting by tomorrow.

I'll be cut off from parents in IL by today/tomorrow and we're already cut off from Missouri where my sister and brother are. My brother is temporarily laid off due to water where he works.
And many, many people I know are losing everything in IL. :(
This is already the worst recorded flood stages ever (beating the 1937 flood) in some places and will either meet or be just below in others.
