People living along Charlie Bluff Road, in the Town of Milton, were told to leave. "I've lived out here 15-years and this is the highest I've ever seen it."

In Newville, people found themselves at Mother Nature's mercy. This is where Lake Koshkonong and the Rock River meet. "We never dreamt it was going to come up, so I have never thought about it you know. Because it's just never been a problem."

Sandbags also lined homes in the Town of Fulton. We're told 150-homes were flooded.
