About this Article

Storms bombarded Wheaton and surrounding communities July 1, leaving behind a path of destruction that required a massive cleanup effort. And even though the calendar said July 4 was approaching, residents and public works crews hardly had the time to celebrate. But on Monday — Labor Day — Wheaton wasn't going to let Mother Nature rain on its rescheduled parade.
