PONTIAC IL

It rained the entire 8 hours to Illinois. When we woke up the next morning, it was still raining. As we drove to our school, it rained some more. Despite the rain, it was unusually warm for the beginning of January. Unfortunately for many of the people in Pontiac, the river flooded and hundreds of people were evacuated from their homes. We decided we should probably get on the road and head to our next destination. As we were leaving, we got a good look at some of the flooding. We pulled up to a street that was actually called Water street. It was pretty funny, Water street was literally "water street," it was completely flooded. You could have gone swimming down it. We were rerouted a few times on our way to Indiana because of high water on the roads and flooded intersections. It made for a long wet week.
