These storms also brought heavy rain, which resulted in flooding that closed Interstate 90/94 near Mauston (about halfway between Madison and Fort McCoy) — that area received about 10 inches of rainfall in a 48-hour period
(below). Amtrack trains were also forced to stop overnight near that same area, due to flooded tracks.
