Further storms across the Midwest usa
More torrential rain and flash flooding struck parts of Wisconsin on Monday as another round of thunderstorms battered parts of the Midwest.
The thunderstorms produced lightning which struck and killed a man as he sought shelter from the rain in Madison. Up to 89mm (3.5 inches) of rain deluged Vernon County while strong winds knocked the power out in the Vilas and Oneida counties.
Last week, violent storms and flooding affected other parts of the Midwest with clean up and recovery operations underway in parts of the Great Lakes region and Ohio. In Ohio, floodwaters began to recede in the badly affected village of Ottawa and the surrounding area. Around 1000 homes in the county were flooded. Across the Midwest, storms and flooding have been blamed for at least 18 deaths over the past couple of weeks.
More thunderstorms are forecast across the flooded parts of the Midwest today with a risk of a further 2 to 3 inches of rain expected in parts of Nebraska and central Wisconsin
