In Des Plaines, when it rains, it pours in more than one way. The city declared a local state of emergency, some schools closed Thursday and a number of roads are closed to motorists on Thursday. 

We want to share pictures of the impact of the rain and flooding with Patch readers. You can add your pictures to this gallery by clicking the green “Upload Photos and Videos” button, or email them to christopher.brinckerhoff[at]patch.com.
