The weekend of June 7th and 8th will go down in Southern Wisconsin history as the weekend from Hell. Friday Night storms brought High Winds, Hail, Tornadoes and rain. Saturday brought on more storms with High Winds, Hail, Tornadoes, Wind and more Rain. Torrential Rains. Dumping 5-6" on Saturday alone. The Flooding was overwhelming. Sunday brought more rain. And more flooding. Then as sandbagging was going on throughout Southern Wisconsin on Monday and Flood Waters continued to rise the unthinkable. Lake Delton, in Wisconsin Dells was gone. What happened? How when there is more water than we can handle is a lake gone? The flood waters rose and rose. The Ski show at Lake Delton was cancelled Saturday and Sunday due to high waters. The water rose to 6' above their stage. Residents were busy sandbagging to keep the water out of their homes and businesses. The flood waters over took a roadway on the side of the Dam. It eroded the roadway and finally the earth that contained it. The lake drained within an hour into the Wisconsin River. Lake Delton is gone!!!! Well it is empty!!!
