As more rain falls all over Illinois - flooding continues to be a big problem. Democratic Governor JB Prtizker says the state has already passed out more than 2 million sandbags and he’s issued a disaster declaration in 34 Illinois counties. 

Now he’s taking another step to try and protect and support communities along the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers.

Experts have called this the longest continued flooding event along the Mississippi and Illinois rivers in the last 90 years.
