Seneca asks: How high's the water, Mama? "It's three feet high and risin'! Well, the hives are gone and I've lost my bees, the chickens are sleepin' in the Willow trees, the Cow's in water up past her knees... three feet high and risin'!"

MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has declared a state of emergency in 17 western Wisconsin counties following days of torrential rains and flooding.

Walker issued the declaration Friday afternoon. His office said in a news release that between 6 and 8 inches of rain fell Wednesday night, causing flash floods and rivers to rise to major flood stage. More storms were expected Friday night.

The counties include Buffalo, Crawford, Dane, Grant, Green, Iowa, Jackson, Juneau, La Crosse, Lafayette, Monroe, Pepin, Richland, Rock, Sauk, Trempealeau, and Vernon.

*SNIP*

[Governor] Walker directed state agencies to assist people affected by the storms and called the Wisconsin National Guard to active duty as Adjutant General Donald Dunbar deems necessary to help with recovery efforts.

(Diana in Wisconsin is in Iowa County; good friends in Trempealeau County have lost 50+ acres of soybean this season...so far!)
