Remnants Of Cristobal Move Into Midwest

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) – The remnants of Tropical Storm Cristobal have moved across parts of the Midwest after lashing the South, unleashing downpours and bringing gusty winds. Heavy rain hit Missouri on Tuesday morning and swept across Illinois, battering Chicago with high winds that downed trees and knocked out electricity to close to 20,000 customers of Commonwealth Edison. National Weather Service says Cristobal may produce flash flooding and isolated river flooding as rains continued overnight and into Wednesday. Cristobal weakened into a depression early Monday after inundating coastal Louisiana and ginning up dangerous weather along most of the U.S. Gulf Coast.
