(The Center Square) – Flooding in the Milwaukee area left cars and people stranded Saturday night into Sunday morning.
It led to an early closure to the State Fair on Saturday, and the fair did not open for its final day Sunday.
Nearby American Family Field was not directly impacted by flooding but several parking lots and routes to the Sunday afternoon game between the Brewers and New York Mets were flooded and closed.
The Brewers were going for their ninth consecutive win in the game.
Local meteorologists showed that some areas of the city saw more than 12 inches of rain in an 18-hour span with some showing more than 14 inches of the rain northwest of the city.
“More heavy rainfall is expected today,” the National Weather Service office in Milwaukee said. “An additional 1 to 2 inches of rainfall are expected today, with locally higher amounts where thunderstorms linger and train. A Flood Watch remains in effect until 7AM Monday.”
