Joyce a few popular roads had to close down when the water got too deep. We have Team Coverage of todays rain and flash flooding. Mark will have an update on what we can expect tomorrow, but we begin with Christina Palladino live in new berlin. We have been driving through dozens of neighborhoods in new berlin and west allis as they deal with these flooding issues. Police have had to close numerous streets and force people off the roads and into their homes because it was getting dangerous as many of the local creeks and rivers have flown across flowed across peoples front yards. Many people who live in these areas say they are prone to flooding but they havent seen it this bad in several years. Some front yards looked like rivers as water streamed onto the driveways and close to homes. Over at Nathan Hale High School in west allis, rain leaked through the roof, janitors mopped up the hallways. Homeowners we talked with say just yesterday the creeks in their neighborhoods were there was not a drop in it. The bridge was underwater. The four houses, they were in the thick of it.

So again, if if you seized ending water or flooded roads, go in the other direction. Reminder to never drive into flooded roadways. Mark, it can be very dangerous. Mark here is how flash flooding works produced get all this rain in a short time. The water comes up like it did at 56th and mitchell, and you drive through it and think you will make it, but a lot of times it is night. Sometimes as water is flowing and your car can get picked up. This is how tragically a lot people die every year in flash flooding. As soon as that went up, 50 minutes later, there was no water left, some things rapidly improved. Our weather is getting better, 73. The dew point is still rough, 70 degrees. It is quieting down in racine as well. As you head to the bus stop, there could be an isolated shower or two.
