Severe Storm and Flash Flooding Update

As I get ready for Ten at 10 on CBS4 here's a quick update on what was a very stormy day around the Quad Cities...as of 9:30 pm Monday night there are about 30,000 people, most in Illinois, still without power!  Widespread wind damage to trees and power lines being the culprit.  Here are some of the storm reports from this afternoon and evening, notice 5 tornadoes reported in our area! 


.
And it was just earlier this morning we saw widespread FLASH FLOODING!  In the Quad Cities we picked up almost 4.5 inches of rain!  The normal for the entire month of June is only 4.49"!  In other words, in Moline (the official climate spot for the Quad Cities) we just about picked up a month's worth of rain in one day!
