Wisconsin’s governor has declared a State of Emergency over flooding concerns.
Governor Evers yesterday signed an executive order that puts Wisconsin’s emergency responders, and the National Guard on alert ahead of what could be statewide flooding. The governor says rivers and streams are rising because of recent rains and the melting snow. There are already road closures in Eau Claire and near Portage. The National Weather Service says the Mississippi River is almost at major flood stage in La Crosse. Forecasters say there’s more rain in the forecast this weekend, so things could get worse.
