Flooding can happen for any reason, not just torrential rain.
By Dawn Aulet We've probably all been there. It's been raining outside for hours and you go into your basement to find a soggy, wet mess. Or, you can't get into the basement without putting on special clothes and boots to wade through the water. Maybe it wasn't even a storm outside, but a burst water heater or another house specific mini-disaster. No matter what caused the flooding, the ways to clean up and stay safe are the same. We consulted the web and called Vic Riato, media services manager at the Will County Health Department. Water can find its way into the basement in any number of ways. So that means that it can come in through a window or a garage or it could have come up through a drain or backed up from the sewer. "The more …

Where & When to Watch: The Lyrids can be unpredictable — often in great ways — experts say, but viewing's dependent upon the weather and moon.
The Lyrid meteor shower is ready to make its 2013 debut in the skies above Joliet Tuesday, and of all the year’s many shows in the heavens, this is one to catch — if the weather cooperates. The skies have been largely empty of visible meteor showers since the Quadrantids of early January, but the shooting stars of the Lyrids have been a reliable spectacle for, oh, 2,600 years or so. The Lyrids meteor shower peaks in 2013 both tonight, April 21, and Monday, April 22, but some meteors may have been visible as early as April 16. You can see what to look for in this video of the Lyrid meteor shower. Or check out photos of the Lyrids. And these charts of the Lyrids may help you locate the shooting stars.The Lyrids tend to be bright and often …
