River ice and rain are causing flooding on the Kankakee River in Wilmington, Illinois, according to ABC7 Chicago's Stephanie Wade.

Police recommended residents be prepared to take action, including evacuation if necessary, after the river rose at least 3 feet overnight. More than a dozen people were evacuated Friday morning.

"The ice jam on the river has not fully broken and there is the potential for flooding throughout the day as ice begins breaking apart at a rapid pace," Will County Emergency Management Agency said.
