Deadly, Historic Flooding Swamps Plains, Midwest

Wisconsin

In southwestern Wisconsin, many roads in the town of Darlington were cut off by floodwaters on Friday. Homes and businesses took on water as the Pecatonica River rose to its highest level since 1993, according to WMTV.

"We’re all kind of nervous for what’s going to happen," Susanne Chambers, owner of the Pizza Pantry, told WMTV. "It’s kind of a scary situation for us – we just don’t know what we have to do next."

Some Brown County residents, including some of the 14,000 living in the village of Bellevue, were ordered to evacuate overnight as floodwaters along the East River continued to rise, according to NBC26.

Minnesota

An estimated 1,000 residents at a mobile home park in Jordan were urged to evacuate late Thursday after an ice jam on Sand Creek caused the creek to overflow its banks and onto the property, KSTP.com reported. The evacuation was voluntary, authorities told the station, noting that there is no drowning risk involved.
