Neighbors offer help

From the Janesville Gazette

NEWVILLE — As a downburst tapered into a shower Thursday afternoon, neighbors in Mallwood Estates on Lake Koshkonong helped each other sandbag their homes.

They were trying to keep floodwater at bay, but the lake and the Rock River flowing out of it just south of their neighborhood continued to rise.

“Everybody’s pitching in,” said Todd Bailey of Janesville. “Everybody’s out here—and their extended families.”
