1
00:00:00,734 --> 00:00:01,768
Gov. Tony Evers this week

2
00:00:01,835 --> 00:00:03,437
called a state of emergency

3
00:00:03,504 --> 00:00:06,039
due to storms in Wisconsin.

4
00:00:06,106 --> 00:00:07,441
More than 20 counties

5
00:00:07,508 --> 00:00:08,842
are under flood warnings

6
00:00:08,909 --> 00:00:10,844
and it just keeps storming.

7
00:00:10,911 --> 00:00:11,879
With the ground

8
00:00:11,945 --> 00:00:12,913
already saturated

9
00:00:12,980 --> 00:00:13,881
what kind of flooding

10
00:00:13,947 --> 00:00:16,517
could result from Friday's

11
00:00:16,917 --> 00:00:18,886
and storms into this evening?

12
00:00:18,952 --> 00:00:19,453
Certainly in

13
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,021
east-central Wisconsin

14
00:00:21,088 --> 00:00:21,788
we're talking about

15
00:00:21,855 --> 00:00:24,224
the Wolf River in particular.

16
00:00:24,291 --> 00:00:25,425
They've had hundreds

17
00:00:25,492 --> 00:00:26,026
and hundreds

18
00:00:26,093 --> 00:00:26,960
of people evacuating

19
00:00:27,027 --> 00:00:27,694
across towns

20
00:00:27,761 --> 00:00:28,529
such as New London

21
00:00:28,595 --> 00:00:29,530
and Shiocton.

22
00:00:29,596 --> 00:00:30,197
So they don't need

23
00:00:30,264 --> 00:00:31,732
a single more drop

24
00:00:31,798 --> 00:00:32,466
or an additional

25
00:00:32,533 --> 00:00:34,368
drop of rain.

26
00:00:34,434 --> 00:00:35,769
So the Friday event

27
00:00:35,836 --> 00:00:37,804
is the one positive

28
00:00:38,739 --> 00:00:39,439
if there even is

29
00:00:39,506 --> 00:00:40,274
there's not really a postive.

30
00:00:40,340 --> 00:00:41,508
But the one good thing

31
00:00:41,575 --> 00:00:42,242
is that this could be a

32
00:00:42,309 --> 00:00:44,611
very fast moving system.

33
00:00:44,678 --> 00:00:46,046
So once it's through here

34
00:00:46,113 --> 00:00:47,781
Friday evening

35
00:00:48,315 --> 00:00:48,949
it's probably going to be

36
00:00:49,016 --> 00:00:50,350
through Wisconsin.

37
00:00:50,417 --> 00:00:51,451
The five o'clock

38
00:00:51,518 --> 00:00:53,187
the worst of it

39
00:00:53,787 --> 00:00:54,688
hopefully then it should be

40
00:00:54,755 --> 00:00:55,689
quiet for at least

41
00:00:55,756 --> 00:00:57,491
the next five days.

42
00:00:57,925 --> 00:00:58,959
So that'll be a little different

43
00:00:59,026 --> 00:00:59,726
this evening one

44
00:00:59,793 --> 00:01:00,494
very fast moving.

45
00:01:00,561 --> 00:01:01,528
Whereas the past couple days

46
00:01:01,595 --> 00:01:02,129
has been

47
00:01:02,196 --> 00:01:04,097
a lot slower moving.

48
00:01:04,398 --> 00:01:05,165
But after that

49
00:01:05,232 --> 00:01:05,799
the

50
00:01:05,866 --> 00:01:06,433
the kind of the light

51
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:07,301
at the end of the tunnel

52
00:01:07,367 --> 00:01:07,901
is that we're

53
00:01:07,968 --> 00:01:09,069
not expecting rainfall

54
00:01:09,136 --> 00:01:09,970
here across the state

55
00:01:10,037 --> 00:01:11,538
really for the next five days.

56
00:01:11,605 --> 00:01:13,340
So this goes through

57
00:01:13,407 --> 00:01:14,007
and probably into

58
00:01:14,074 --> 00:01:15,876
the Thursday of next week.

59
00:01:15,943 --> 00:01:16,844
So hopefully that

60
00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:17,578
will give us some time

61
00:01:17,644 --> 00:01:19,546
to dry off and really

62
00:01:19,613 --> 00:01:20,948
start the cleanup

63
00:01:21,014 --> 00:01:22,516
in preparation process

64
00:01:22,583 --> 00:01:24,384
across Wisconsin.
