Heavy rainfall caused severe flooding in Milwaukee and ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵ counties, leading to road closures, power outages, and property damage. The flooding was caused by over 14 inches of rain in less than 24 hours, leading to multiple rivers flooding at record-high levels. Governor Tony Evers declared a state of emergency in Wisconsin, allowing for additional state resources and personnel to support local response and recovery efforts. No fatalities were reported, and the National Weather Service predicted more rain for the area Monday night.
Southeastern Wisconsin experienced a once-in-500-year rainstorm over the weekend, causing flash floods that closed roads and businesses. Several municipalities, including Germantown, declared a state of emergency, and residents were asked to limit water usage due to an overflow in the sanitary sewer system. The storm caused flooding at residences, businesses, parks, and other organizations, and the Farmington bridge was shifted and partially collapsed. Cleanup efforts are ongoing, and a stormwater and flood workshop will be offered by Washington County Parks & Trails.
