ILLINOIS - RECORD RAINFALL drenches Chicago. Flights are canceled, power is knocked out and roads are flooded as the city deals with THE LARGEST SINGLE-DAY RAINFALL SINCE RECORDS BEGAN in 1871. As a heat wave continued to sear much of the East with 100-plus temperatures Saturday, Chicago was pounded with record-breaking rainfall. At O'Hare International Airport, rainfall totals had reached 6.91 inches Saturday morning. The highest previous daily total was 6.64 inches on Sept. 12, 2008. Commuters soldiered on their way, trying to deal with the effects of overnight storms. Two truckers had to be rescued by boat after abandoning their nearly submerged trucks on a South Side expressway. Roads into the airport were backed up, and the rain caused numerous flight delays of up to one hour and dozens of cancellations. The storm knocked out power for more than 150,000 customers. As of noon Saturday, about 74,000 were without power.
