The entire state of Wisconsin has been under attack by weather the last several days. It seems like just about the time one storm center passes over, another one arrives. The ground is saturated and there is nowhere for rainwater to go anymore.

The Kickapoo River is completely over its banks. I-94 was closed for some time because the Crayfish River was within inches of the roadway. A berm gave way near Wisconsin Dells and Lake Delton is completely drained - seriously impacting the tourist industry there. A dam is threatened in Mukwanago, forcing the closing of a state highway. Incredible flood damage is being cleaned up all over Milwaukee County.

And where was the leader of the emergency government yesterday, the Governor of Wisconsin, Diamond Jim Doyle?
