Although the rain had ended, runoff from the storms continued to aggravate the flooding situation across Central Illinois.  The runoff continued to cause flooding problems on numerous county roads and basements.  Illinois Route 130 between Jasper and Richland counties remained flooded.  In Jasper County, an elderly woman had to be evacuated from her home due to rising flood waters and another person had to be rescued after driving into a flooded area.  No injuries were reported.   Flooding continued in Effingham County with several motorists driving into flooded roadways and had to be rescued.  No injuries were reported there.  In Clark County, Illinois Route 1 was flooded south of Martinsville, as well as Old Route 40 between Martinsville and Casey.  In Cumberland County, Illinois Route 121 west of Toledo was closed for a time due to flooding and Illinois Route 130 between Greenup and Charleston was closed as well.

Two mudslides occurred at the Oak Hill Cemetary in Taylorville (Christian County), covering the road with mud.  On Sunday evening in Decatur (Macon County), a mudslide occurred on Lake Shore Drive.  No structures were affected by the mudslide.  Train tracks on the east side of Decatur were washed out and had to be repaired.  On Sunday near Riverton (Sangamon County), a levee was breeched on the Sangamon River flooding farmland.  Several water treatment plants around the Sangamon County and a power plant in Springfield had to be sandbagged to prevent flooding of the facilities.  The flooding caused the southbound lanes of  Interstate 55 (southern Sangamon County) to be closed due to high water from Brush Creek near Divernon.  In Morgan County, Illinois Route 78 at Illinois Route 104 remained closed due to the flooding.  Also, 3 teenagers had to be rescued Sunday evening after driving into a flooded section of roadway near Jacksonville and were swept several feet downstream until the car came to rest next to a power pole.
