Storms flood Chicago area By United Press International Floods up to 3 feet deep shut down several roads and soaked hundreds of suburban basements in the Chica­ go area early yesterday as storms hurled heavy rain and strong winds at the nation's midsection. Thunderstorms today reached from Michigan to the Dakotas and south to Kansas. Other storms were reported in Oklahoma and Arkan­ sas, while rain doused the Rockies, the Mississippi and Tennessee val­ leys and the Southeast. More than 2 Vi inches of rain pelted Chicago and its northern sub­ urbs early yesterday, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a flash flood warning. Up to 3 feet of standing water forced police to divert traffic from a section of the Edens Expressway in Chicago. Several suburban streets were blocked off, and Skokie police reported at least 200 homes with flooded basements. A tornado touched down Monday night in Hastings, Neb., and a wind gust of 104 mph was clocked on Lake Michigan by a ship, southeast of Kewaunee, Wis.

A flash flood watch was posted for south-central and southwestern Iowa. Four inches of rain drenched Corning Monday night and 2 inches fell in two hours at Crestoh. Winds gusting to 50 mph and marble-size hail accompanied the storm. To the south, a flash flood watch also,was issued for today. United Press International Salin-de-Giraud, France -- Two freak 10-foot waves slammed into the coast of southern France, drowning a young woman and dev­ astating a vacation haven of nude beaches and isolated campgrounds, authorities said Tuesday. About 2,000 people were evacuat­ ed from the area after the massive waves swept ashore Monday night along the coast about 46 miles west of Marseilles. Rescue workers slogged through drenching rains and high tides searching for stranded vacationers and campers sleeping in tents and trailers when disaster struck. Authorities said they feared the death toll could rise as rescue work­ ers reached areas cut off by water. Helicopters surveying the damage reported seeing submerged tents and cars. Hundreds of people took shelter in a gymnasium in Salin-de-Giraud and others at an emergency center in Port Saint Louis Rhone. A woman at the gymnasium in Salin-de-Giraud, where townspeople brought the vacationers clothes, blankets and hot food, described the 10-foot waves as "brutal." "We were in the trailer and heard the noise," she said. "Everything started flying around. The children were sleeping in a tent nearby so we quickly brought them inside." About 4 a.m. Tuesday, rescue workers at Port Guardian found the body of Anne Deletang, 19, who drowned. Authorities said she was in a boat that was swamped by the huge wave. Twelve other people were hospi­ talized and many others were re­ ported suffering from shock. "So far, there has only been one death, a girl who fell into the water at Port Guardian," said Henri Fer- ral, a regional civil security official. "But considering the violence of the wave, there may be others in trailers." Ferral said the stricken area re­ sembled "a battleground."

But resolving serious emotional problems --like being depressed most of the time or feeling suspicious constantly-requires competent, professional help. In a society-that values self-sufficiency, people are generally expected to solve their own problems. Most of us have high expectations of ourselves and feel that inner strength should be enough to overcome any problem. Yet when you maintain a false front of absolute capability, you stop yourself from getting the help vi >u may need -- and your problem may get worse. How can you tell when you need professional help.7 Look at the severity of the problem. Most depression, for example, is brief and will pass without treatment. But if the problem hangs on, then the insight, experience and caring of a mental health professional are required. Seeking help when needed shows more strength than weakness. If you or someone you know needs help, call us. Riveredge Hospital is a community mental health 'resource. We can help you find the help that's needed.
