MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Milwaukee area began drying out Monday after weekend rain hit unofficial records in Wisconsin of more than 14 inches (36 centimeters) in less than 24 hours, leading multiple rivers to flood at record-high levels, washing out vehicles, flooding basements and cutting power to thousands of homes.

Excessive rainfall in Wisconsin caused flash flooding this weekend, leading to inundated roads, flooded basements and an early closure of the region’s beloved state fair.

Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson, the City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works, and other officials are providing an update in the aftermath of historic flooding in the city.
