Flash flooding creates several disasters in Milwaukee Wisconsin

The State of Wisconsin is trying to dry out on Friday following a week of heavy rains that has led to flash floods throughout the area including hitting the Milwaukee area especially hard. A state of emergency has been declared in the Milwaukee county region as numerous sinkholes have formed due to the heavy rains, including one the swallowed a Cadillac Escalade and appeared to be over twenty feet deep.

The State has experienced record rainfall in the month of July, including another severe thunderstorm that hovered over the area for a long period late Thursday creating much of the flooding and water damage that is now present throughout much of the Metro area. Several schools were shown to be underwater and thousands of homeowners will now deal with cleaning up and drying out their basements over the next several days. Nicolet High School appears to be one the most hardest hit areas as the school was reportedly under two feet of water on late Thursday.

 

Jarvis Property Restoration has several disaster response teams that have deployed to the area to assist with flooding cleanup and water damage extraction efforts. There appears to be more rain showers hovering in the Dakotas that could hinder some of the dry out efforts over the next few days.
