April 19, 2013 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- Mayor Rahm Emanuel says more work needs to be done to prevent flooding in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood.
The U.S. geological survey says the level of the Chicago River was nine inches higher than during the last big flood there in 2008.
The Chicago River crested at 8.57 feet on Thursday, and fell below flood stage on Friday. The river will continue to recede, and is expected to hit 6-feet on Saturday.
