The final day of the 11-day Wisconsin State Fair was canceled on Sunday due to flash flooding caused by heavy rainfall across southeastern Wisconsin and several other Midwest states. The flooding inundated the fairgrounds in West Allis, near Milwaukee, leading to water rescues, power outages affecting thousands of households, and road closures. Motorists were forced to abandon vehicles amid hazardous conditions. Milwaukee County has preliminarily estimated flood damage at $23 million from the August 9 storm. The flooding also caused disruptions to local businesses and organizations, including the South Milwaukee Human Concerns, which paused operations after its building flooded. Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers toured affected homes and called for a timely decision from President Donald Trump on FEMA aid. Insurers have received thousands of claims related to the historic rainfall and flooding. Officials noted that naturalized streams and rivers may have mitigated what could have been even worse flooding in Milwaukee. West Allis declared a state of emergency as the community begins recovery efforts following the storm.
