Flooding cancels Wisconsin State Fair's last day as water rescues continue in Milwaukee
Flash flooding canceled the final day of the Wisconsin State Fair on Sunday as continued heavy rainfall in half a dozen Midwest states led to water rescues, power outages and road closures. Organizers of the Wisconsin State Fair said they were canceling the final day of the 11-day event after rains flooded the fairgrounds in West Allis, which is just outside Milwaukee. "We are saddened we cannot deliver this final day of the Wisconsin State Fair, but know that this is the best decision with current conditions and the forecast ahead," organizers said in a statement. The National Weather Service issued flood watches and warnings for parts of Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois and Wisconsin. After rainfall began on Saturday in some areas forecasters predicted "repeated rounds of heavy rain," along with hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes on Sunday. Among the worst hit was the Milwaukee area, where as many as 10 inches of rain had fallen in some areas by early Sunday. Nearly 47,000 customers of We Energies lost power in southeast Wisconsin. USA Triathlon also canceled its Sprint and Paratriathlon National Championships in Milwaukee, where thousands of athletes were expected to participate. Firefighters responded to over 600 calls including for gas leaks, electrical outages and water rescues, according to the Milwaukee Fire Department. Meanwhile, city crews worked overnight to clear surface water. "Please continue to avoid flooded areas and do not walk or drive through standing water," the City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works pleaded in a statement. "It remains dangerous." On Saturday, strong winds led to the death of one person in eastern Nebraska after a tree fell on a woman's car. In the state capital of Lincoln, the storms damaged two housing units at the Nebraska State Penitentiary, displacing 387 prisoners, the state Department of Correctional Services said. The agency said all staff and incarcerated individuals were safe and accounted for.

Record-Smashing Rainfall Triggers Major Flash Flooding In Milwaukee
Residents of Milwaukee faced extreme flooding Saturday evening, as heavy rain sat over the area for hours. According to the National Weather Service, 5.74 inches of rain fell on Saturday, smashing the daily rainfall record for Milwaukee, which was previously 1.64 inches of rain. By early Sunday morning, Milwaukee picked up additional rainfall, bringing the storm total to nearly 7 inches of rain. Radar estimates around Milwaukee show rainfall totals as high as 10-11 inches. As water rushed into nearby creeks and rivers, the water rose quickly. This resulted in submerged cars, and people scrambling to find higher ground. The Wisconsin State Fair, which is being held in West Allis, a suburb of Milwaukee, was forced to close early Saturday evening as people were packed in the fairgrounds to see Lynyrd Skynyrd. The concert was also cancelled. Wisconsin State Fair officials announced Sunday morning that they will not reopen for the last day of the state fair. The USA Triathlon Sprint and Paratriathlon National Championships in Milwaukee have also been canceled on Sunday due to flooding. At 6:15 a.m. local time, the Milwaukee River at Milwaukee-Estabrook Park set a new all-time record. The river gauge peaked at 11.19 feet, smashing the old record of 10.5 feet set back in 2010. Flood Threat Moves South While showers and storms will still linger in the Milwaukee area, much of the threat moves southward. The threat of heavy rainfall, including flash flooding pushes into portions of the southern Plains through the end of the weekend. From central Kansas to central Missouri has the greatest risk of flash flooding, however, a larger swath from eastern Colorado to Michigan could also face the threat of heavy rainfall. Most areas will pick up several inches of rain, however, if storms sit over the same area for longer lengths of time, much higher totals and flash flooding are possible.
