Midwest flooding cancels Wisconsin State Fair and cuts power
Flash flooding canceled the final day of the Wisconsin State Fair on Sunday as continued heavy rainfall in half a dozen Midwest states has led to water rescues, power outages and road closures. The National Weather Service has issued flood watches and warnings for parts of Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois and Wisconsin. Forecasters predict “repeated rounds of heavy rain,” along with hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. Among the worst hit is the Milwaukee area, where as many as 12 inches of rain had fallen in some areas. USA Triathlon also canceled its Sprint and Paratriathlon National Championships in Milwaukee, where thousands were expected to compete.
