Event narrative (NOAA)
Sauk County experienced 4 flash flood events over a 3-day period. Two of the events started on June 7th, one on June 8th, and the last one on June 9th. In each case, flash flooding caused home and business damage as well as crop losses. Roads were blocked or washed out (STH 154 and CTH C), and bridges were damaged. Many vehicles stalled. Locations in the Baraboo River Valley sustained considerable damage as the river crested at all-time levels. Collectively, each of these 4 flash floods resulted in home and business damage along with some crop losses. It was nearly impossible to break down the damages by flash flood event.
