Much of South Chicago is flooded, along with a huge swathe of the East Side. Whole neighborhoods are submerged underwater, with the newly-flooded areas heading as far inland as Marian R. Byrnes Park and the Chicago Bureau of Sanitation. Lawrence Elementary School would also have been lost to the lake.

I'm trying to figure out what the problem is here.....

Well, Lake Calumet and environs are pretty low. A lot of Steel Slag was used to fill in low marshy areas. The Irony! U.S.S. shutting plants at a time when their by-product could be used to counter alleged lake level rise! ;)
