Douglas County, where flooding on the Embarras River closed streets in Villa Grove, is among 12 Illinois counties that have been declared named state disaster areas by Gov. Bruce Rauner.

Conditions in the Iroquois County city look a bit like they were in January 2008, when about 1,500 residents were forced from their homes.  The Iroquois River was about 6.5 feet above flood stage as of Sunday.
