Thursday, August 9th, 2007 — Cleanup and aid efforts continued Wednesday in Rockford, but it will likely be weeks before a realistic assessment of the flood’s effects can be made. Likewise, how this week’s damage compares with the 2006 Labor Day flood and whether Rockford will get any recovery funding from the state or federal governments remain unknown. Meanwhile, more rain hit Rockford on Wednesday afternoon. “We’re keeping our eyes on the skies,” Assistant City Director Julia Scott-Valdez said. “Everybody is.”
