The rainiest March 24 on record pushed swollen streams over the top in southern Wisconsin Tuesday, with residents along some stretches of the Rock, Sugar, Yahara and Fox Rivers scrambling to sandbag their properties.

Madison's official weather station at the airport recorded 2.28 inches of rain on Tuesday, smashing the previous record for March 24 of 0.91 inches, set in 1904.
