As torrential rain completely soaked parts of Chicago on Sunday morning, basements and partially submerged streets were not the only things that got flooded. Inbound calls poured into the city’s nonemergency system, 311.
More than 1,400 complaints — of “water in basement” or “water on street” — were logged on Sunday, and there were more than 700 the following day. Most were concentrated on the city’s Far Northwest and Far North sides.
