Widespread rain occurred across central and southeast Illinois from June 19th through June 20th as remnants of Tropical Storm Bill tracked slowly northeastward from the Ozarks into the Ohio River Valley.  While the entire region picked up rainfall in excess of 1 inch, the heaviest rain occurred along and southeast of a Paris to Shelbyville line where amounts of 3 to 6 inches were common.  Due to these excessive rainfall amounts on top of already saturated soils, flash flooding became a major issue across this area.  Water flowed across numerous county roads, as adjacent fields flooded and many area creeks and streams spilled out of their banks.  One of the hardest hit areas was western Effingham County, where many roads were closed due to high water and Lake Sara was closed to boat traffic.
