The Great Flood part 1 and 2

This is a post from my other blog from a few days ago:

It’s been raining like cats and dogs here in WI for the past couple of days. We’ve gotten enough rain in some parts of our state that dams have broke and major flooding has occured. I think I heard this morning on the news that Lake Dalton actually made national news when the dam broke and houses actually fell into the flood water and were floating towards the Wisconsin river. I think the final total was 7 houses were headed for the river as of news time this morning.

This is from yesterday:

We got another round of really bad storms again yesterday. It’s actually so bad around here in some areas that FEMA has been called in. The next county over from us actually got about 4 inches of rain in approximately 20 minutes yesterday. There were something like 22 tornado watches/warnings through three states. Some of the damage totals for counties surrounding us are Waukesha County - $35 million, Vernon County - $5.5 million and in my county (Dane) it’s expected to up over $5.6 million.
