Flooding in Pontiac, Illinois
The recent snow melt and rain is causing flood conditions in central Illinois along the Kankakee and Vermilion rivers. The Route 66 town of Pontiac is affected by the flooding on the Vermilion, although it seems that most of the damage is on the east side of town. I just got off the phone with Jim Jones at the Route 66 Hall of Fame Museum, and he said that the Museum and downtown Pontiac are not affected. Livingston County has been declared a state disaster area, and unfortunately some light rain is expected later today.
