Flooding leaves standing water, stranded cars in Milwaukee after Tuesday storms
CBS 58 MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Water surged across southeastern Wisconsin during heavy rainfall Tuesday, April 14, leaving standing water in roadways and stranded vehicles hours later.
Our own Amanda Becker reported from 107th and Donna in the Granville neighborhood early Wednesday, April 15, where police had been hand-clearing a storm drain at the intersection for more than an hour. Water levels were dropping by early morning, though Donna St. still showed signs of flooding, with multiple cars still sitting in standing water. One vehicle had already been towed.
Popuch Park behind the intersection resembled a pond.
Debris in roadways is expected throughout the day as floodwater continues to recede.
In the Sussex-Lisbon area, our Michael Schlesinger found damage from a radar-confirmed tornado that touched down Tuesday just after 7:30 p.m. West of Highway 164, debris was scattered across a warehouse parking lot, pieces of a nearby building had been ripped off and dozens of trees were down. Lisbon Presbyterian Church also appears to have taken a direct hit.
The National Weather Service is expected to survey the above area Wednesday morning.
Flooding was also impacting the commute in Milwaukee as seen here near 60th and Thurston early Wednesday.
