Neighborhoods across Milwaukee County are continuing to recover from record-shattering flooding over the weekend. Inundated basements, entire portions of Wauwatosa seemingly underwater, people fleeing the Wisconsin State Fair which shut down early amid rising floodwater and reports of cars literally floating away down roadways all followed the torrential downpour which began Aug.

A rare 1,000 year storm dropped over 9 inches of rain in Milwaukee, flooding streets, stranding cars and prompting emergency declarations.
