About 20 miles west of Chicago, residents in the village of Riverside are asked to leave their homes due to threats of possible flooding. The Des Plaines River is three feet above flood stage tonight. This is the same community where 150 homes suffered extensive water damage back in September. While officials don't expect it to be that bad, they're taking precaution since there's a chance flood waters will freeze before receding.
