The St Croix River at Danbury - a location with over 100 years of river level history - recorded a maximum river stage of 11.66', which well exceeded the previous record of 8.7'.
Overview
|
Roads, bridges and culverts were flooded and some washed out as four days of stormy weather and heavy rains in mid-June (14th-17th) caused record flooding across northwestern Wisconsin and adjacent areas of east central Minnesota. The hardest hit areas were the Wisconsin counties of Douglas, Bayfield, Ashland, Iron and Burnett where Gov. Scott Walker declared a state of emergency. Northwest Wisconsin took the brunt of the rain which resulted in the widespread flooding. Record crests occurred on some rivers in Wisconsin including: the Nemadji River at Superior, Whittlesy Creek at Ashland, White River at Ashland and the St. Croix River at Danbury. See the hydrographs below for specific crest information. See the map below for a closer look at rainfall totals in the flood region. Thursday, June 14th Late Thursday evening, the 14th of June, numerous thunderstorms moved across the Northland. These storms would set the stage for more flooding in the next few days. Two to 4 inches of rain fell across parts of northwestern Wisconsin. The most rain fell over Iron and Price Counties. It is this rain that helped cause the flooding in Houghton, MI. The NWS cooperative weather observer near Butternut had 1.06 inches of rain overnight while Hurley had 3.50 inches. Some roads and culverts were flooded. Some of the storms came with large hail. Half dollar size hail fell near New Post in Sawyer County, quarter-size hail fell near Ashland and Drummond while golfball size hail fell 7 miles east northeast of Butternut. Friday, June 15th The deluge of rain began during the day of Friday, June 15th. This first round of storms brought large hail, damaging winds and torrential rain from east central Minnesota, across the Twin Ports and across northwest Wisconsin. Most of the hail reported was nickle size and smaller, however golf ball size hail fell in Carlton, MN. Trees and power lines were blown down in Duluth. Flash flooding occurred near Hurley when 2 feet of water covered U. S. Highway 2 at the intersection of County Road D. Far northern tier counties of Wisconsin received the brunt of the rain with amounts ranging from 2 inches to over 3". Saturday/Saturday night June 16-17th More thunderstorms developed the evening of the 16th and lasted overnight. Downburst winds caused significant damage on the Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation. Shingles and facia were torn from the Headstart building on Trepania Road. Homes were damaged by fallen trees in the Hunter Township. Oak trees were uprooted. Another downburst brought down 30 large oak trees northwest of Spooner on Tanglewood Drive. Tehre was also major tree damage near Spooner where a homeowner reported 30 large oak trees were blown over or snapped. This damage was in a small area of about 500 feet wide and less than a quarter mile wide and was likely due to a microburst, which is an intense thunderstorm downdraft. Winds could have reached 80 to 90 miles an hour. The extreme rainfall with this batch of storms was widespread across northeast Minnestoa and northwest Wisconsin. Some specific 24 hour rainfall amounts include 2.70" in Ashland, WI, 2.11" in Hayward, 3.01" at Bruno, MN, 2.05 in Brainerd, 2.51 at Island Lake and 2" at Kabetogama. Sunday, June 17th More rain fell on Sunday, June 17th. 2" fell at Hayward, WI, 1.84" at Ashand1.35 at Hurley. Duluth, MN had 1", Brainerd 1.21" and 1.92" fell at Wright in Aitkin County.
