Several rounds of thunderstorms moved across southwest Wisconsin from the late afternoon of May 3rd into the early morning hours of May 4th. These storms produced 2 to 4 inches of rain in a relatively short time. Runoff from this rain pushed the Pine River out of its banks with the flood waters closing several roads over the northern portions of Richland County. The highest reported rainfall total was 4.8 inches near Richland Center.
