Notes
12 Jul: CLR 70.3° REL HMDTY 90% AQI 23 DP 67.1° WND CLM 0.0 MPH WND BRM 29.88 RSG VIS 10 MI Sunrise 5:26 Sunset 8:25. 11 Jul: Hi 91.1° (1545) Lo 69.3° (0650) CDD 15 GUST NW 23 MPH (2315). *** Great Hickory/Spring Creek Flood in Joliet/New Lenox began on this date in 1957 amid high temperature of 90° and much humidity. Rain began at 1430 hours and did not end until 0530 the next morning. 6.73” rain fell in five hours and eventually totaled 8.13” for 15 hours. 4,000 homes were damaged and the entire south/southeast sides of the City of Champions were under water. Incredibly, the vast EJ&E rail yard was covered by 15’of H2O and expansive Pilcher Park was flooded. New Lenox was cut off on three sides with most main roads swamped. On the light side, Joliet people caught medium-sized bullheads on their property nearly a mile from the closest body of water. Days after the waters receded, Jolietans found possessions from New Lenox residents (6 miles to the east!) in their yards. NNNN
