Heavy rain, floods pummel Jo Daviess County; Galena closes floodgates

When Mike Zurad and his wife Christina came into Galena Thursday, July 22, to celebrate Christina's birthday, one of the first things they noticed was the Galena River.
"It was such a quaint little river," Mike said. "I thought the flood gates were a bit of an overkill."
The Zurads quickly found out why the gates protecting Galena's downtown district are so important. Just two days later, the gates were Main Streets's last line of defense from an onslaught of weekend storms.
