My back yard water level is about 6" down from the 100 year floodplain elevation as of this morning June 9th. Basement is still dry thanks to 2 sump pumps. Lots of water standing everywhere in SE Wisconsin.

I had 7.25" at my summer house on Lake Puckaway.

I pulled the planks out of the pier and jacked the boats up on the lift before I left yesterday, but now I heard the lake is up 2FT since Friday.

I may have to make a run up during the week to make sure the boats are OK.

F'n sucks

Hope you guys are all ok!! Anyone by a river or lake could be in serious trouble if we get any more rain this week.

I just wish this would have been a huge snowstorm in December to get the trail systems started around here. Imagine the amount of snow this could have been

rain fall inches X 10 = snowfall inches.

Looks like you guys in Iowa got it nastier than we did. Note to self: Live on a hill and keep electric going for sump pumps.

I got caught driving in that downpour on I-90/94 and onto I-39

I have been through Tropical depressions, tropical waves, & tropical storms in Florida and I have never seen rain come down that hard & fast.

A minivan tried to pass me in I-94 after I slowed due to hydroplaning in my truck with huge pro-comp X-terrain tires. this doofus started sliding and ended up flipping onto their top right next to me on the interstate. I got past them safely and then the cars behind me got tangled up n the wreck.
I was towing a 3,000 pound trailer at the time.

Has the levels of water dropped any yet, I heard some parts of I-94 were closed for days

i seems like it is drying up here in west bend! the rivers are slowing down and my sump pump is running a lot less!
