Rain-swollen rivers and creeks forced hundreds of voluntary evacuations across the Chicago region today, damaged homes and at least one architectural landmark, left two Indiana men drowned in a drainage ditch, and triggered emergency declarations in half a dozen Illinois communities and all of Cook County.
 

CLTV is reporting that about 20 people living in basement apartments on River and Higgins roads in the Village of Rosemont were evacuated by firefighters.

Those residents are staying at a Rosemont motel.
