Have You Noticed Any Flooding Lately?

 Honestly, it seems 2025 will go down as “the year of the floods”.  Reports of “most rain ever recorded” seem to be a daily event someplace.  Many folks strongly believe that some government or group is capable of modifying the weather and are seeding the clouds to produce rain like no one has ever seen.  Others believe it’s because of global warming and the ocean is warming which produces more moisture in the air.  Still others believe it’s all part of the earth groaning as it awaits its redemption and the lifting of the curse after Jesus arrives to usher in His Millennial Kingdom.

Catastrophic flooding

What we know:

Catastrophic flooding has impacted Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, Waukesha, and other surrounding communities.

Multiple counties have declared a state of emergency, and Governor Evers has approved help from the National Guard.

City leaders say when it comes to flooding, there was little they could have done to stop it.

"We have 14 inches of rain in this location, which is an intense amount in a short period of time, so there's no sewer system across the country that can maintain that amount," said Jerrel Kruschke, Milwaukee Department of Public Works Commissioner.

One thing was done at the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD).

With the deep tunnel nearing full capacity, MMSD started a combined sewage overflow just before 10 p.m. on Saturday, meaning crews sent a combination of untreated sewage and stormwater into nearby waterways.
