• Kane County flooding damage to be examined by federal officials May 7, 2013 12:00 AM
  Federal, state, and country officials will tour Kane County this week to determine if the damage incurred from last month's flooding rains warrants a federal disaster declaration. "The Fox River may have gone down, but (inspectors) will be looking at the marks made by the high water levels," said Don Bryant, director of Kane County's Emergency Management Agency. "They also may be knocking on some residents' doors to see how badly they were affected."

  Woman, dog rescued from flooding near E. Dundee Apr 18, 2013 12:00 AM
  Barrie Komorski was prepared to wait out the flooding in her home near East Dundee Thursday, but her little dog, Roxi, forced her to rethink her decision. For 17 years, Komorski, 60, has lived in the Richardson subdivision, an area that backs up to the Fox River and is notorious for its floods. The floods forced her out of her home in 2007 and 2010. But after Nicor shut her gas off as a precautionary measure, a move that meant she wouldn’t have any heat, Komorski changed her mind about fighting the floods.
