SOUTHEASTERN WISCONSIN (CBS 58) – Flooding across Washington and Ozaukee Counties created a headache for drivers Monday morning. Some people even had to be rescued.
Interstate 43 was closed down for about 7 miles near Port Washington due to high water. In fact, the roadway looked more like a river. The Port Washington Fire Department tells CBS 58 it rescued about ten people. No one was hurt.
A semi, an ambulance, a taxi, and a few cars were stranded near mile marker 100. Drivers say the rain was coming down hard and with no daylight yet, it was difficult to see the flooding ahead on I-43.
Meanwhile, a parking lot and a garage at a condo building in Port Washington also flooded Monday morning damaging several cars. The high water crept in at the Lighthouse Condominium complex on Lake Street.
