I havenโ€™t read all the comments but I suggest you get a Weather Alert Radio with battery backup. Your Village Public Safety station will program it with the necessary warnings.

IMHO the biggest potential is not flooding, assuming you live on the west side of 441/27. The biggest potential problem is tree branches. Unless you have an older roof, more than 12-15, you should be okay.

After 22 years in TV, I worry most about tornadoes being created on the edge of the storm. Hence the recommendation for a weather alert radio. After the ground hog day tornado, in 2005?, the VHA championed getter a weather alert transmitter tower installed that covered the area. The VHA paid for it with donations. It was installed and operational within about 6 months. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š
