Damage from last week’s major flooding in parts of Northwestern Wisconsin is now estimated at more than $30 million, and the state is considering whether to request a federal disaster declaration.
Assessments of flood damage also are continuing in parts of east-central and Northeastern Minnesota, which also were hit by rainfall in excess of 8-10 inches a week ago. The rain sent creeks and rivers out of their banks, and caused damage to highways, local roads and some homes.
Wisconsin emergency management officials reported Monday receiving preliminary estimates of nearly $29 million in public infrastructure damage from eight counties.
