Historic flooding triggered an emergency declaration in Milwaukee County after thunderstorms and torrential rainfall impacted parts of Wisconsin.
“The state of emergency was declared Sunday afternoon, hours after parts of southeastern Wisconsin were placed on flood alert and some reported more than a foot of rain,” Wisconsin Public Radio stated.
Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson said “it’s something that Milwaukee hasn’t seen in perhaps a decade or more.”
