Crepuscular rays over Lake Michigan this morning

@AmandaCzernecki What a wonderful life. Sorry for your loss

Our 19-year-old sunshine girl, Rogue, crossed the rainbow bridge on Tuesday, June 10th 🌈 She died peacefully at home, surrounded by beautiful flowers, the gentle sound of wind chimes and sunshine on her beautiful face 🐈‍⬛ God only knows what we’ll be without her 💔

@EllhartQ @CWBChicago Chicago Executive Airport

@Derek_A_Peters @CWBChicago What airport is that with the eagle?

Absolutely incredible! I captured this during takeoff. A bald eagle chose this morning to perch on one of the hangars at our airport. Happy Memorial Day and thank you to all who have served! 🫡🦅

@cshimala All it took was one long weekend and the wildlife returned

@Derek_A_Peters Over at Schaumburg Airport we had some coyotes join us just before takeoff!

I am jumping off duty so this is will be the last update from me. @KrisHabermehl and the rest of the CBS news team will be all over this story the rest of the afternoon and beyond. cbsnews.com/chicago/live

Update 12:30p: Intrepid public works crews are making progress in popping manhole covers to drain standing water. Then, the next problem becomes the residual ice. It will be a very long time before things return to anything approaching “normal” for the people who live in the area

An absolute catastrophe of a water main break has flooded a nearly one-mile stretch of roads in Skokie this morning. See thread below for a comprehensive list of affected streets

@CubsBallhawk_ @cshimala Good luck, sir 🫡. We’ll be about 1000 ft above you

@cshimala @Derek_A_Peters Driving up there now if you want to jump on the up n. I’ll report back in 30 minutes

@CubsBallhawk_ Only one way to find out

@Derek_A_Peters What area is skateable?

Correction: Greenwood between Forestview & Ewing is drivable

@TheQumarZaman Good to know, thanks!

@Derek_A_Peters My street is passable - Greenwood between Forestview & Ewing - so your map isn't entirely accurate.

Admire the ice from afar. Don’t go walking around on it, please!
