Though the most severe flooding from Wednesday's rains was reported in Lake County, several Cook County suburbs -- particularly those on or near the border -- also struggled with problems.

Barrington Village Manager Jeff Lawler said the increasing rate of rainfall of each storm wreaked havoc with some of the village's most flood-prone areas.

Particularly hard hit was the intersection of Summit and Russell streets, adjacent to Miller Park and the village's Metra commuter station in the southeast corner of the village center. Sanitary sewer manhole covers were blown off by the swell of floodwaters as each wave of rain became more intense than the last, he said.

Overnight rains were measured at a rate of 2.35 inches per hour and then 1.7 inches per hour. But in the morning, two further waves were measured at 3.76 inches per hour and 5.28 inches per hour, Lawler said.
