The Streamwood area didn’t escape this past week’s storms. Joey Pudlik e-mailed these images to us from Streamwood, explaining:
“I just wanted to let you know about the storms that moved through on Thursday. I live out in Streamwood and I estimated the winds to be possibly in excess of 80MPH. There were several 2 foot diameter trees and tree limbs down, some were smaller. Several of the trees and tree limbs fell on cars, houses, power poles and power lines. I just got my power back at 3AM Saturday morning, it was out for a day and a half. We also had to deal with extreme flooding which put some roads under 3 feet of water and made the Poplar Creek rise to an all time high, the creek came within 25 yard of houses.”
Thanks for sharing your photos with us, Joey!
