Farmers Insurance sued the city of Chicago and 200 other cities and towns for not being prepared to handle the effects of climate change. An intense rainstorm flooded parts of Chicago last year.

On this week's Climate Cast, Kerri Miller and MPR meteorologist Paul Huttner talk to Duluth Mayor Don Ness about the rain that flooded his city in 2012 and what cities can do to prepare for extreme weather.
