Aurora residents are reeling from catastrophic flood damage after Fourth of July storms dumped over a foot of water in basements — and most had no flood insurance. With costs soaring for furnace and water heater replacements, drywall repairs, and lost belongings, the financial blow is staggering. Kane County and the SBA have declared it a disaster, highlighting how widespread uninsured losses even outpace some tornadoes. Aldermen say homeowners were caught off guard by what their policies actually cover. Experts urge simple fixes like backup sump pumps and cleared gutters, while city officials explore reopening grants and federal loans remain available — with individual aid due by October 5th and business loans until May 2025. The governor’s disaster proclamation also brings temporary tax relief to those hardest hit.
