Steven's Boat

Rushing flood waters drain Lake Delton

Lake Delton near the Dells is essentially empty after the rain-swollen lake cut its own channel around a dam and emptied into the Wisconsin River, taking four homes with it.



Steven has been renting a place on this lake for more than a year now. Check out the pictures he sent me.


You can kind of see what the lake would normally look like behind me. It's not the best shot, but it's all I have.


This is what is looked like with the flooding.




And this is what it looked like after all the water went rushing out.






"Right now there is no lake. It's simply a channel flowing from here to the Wisconsin River. Now we basically have a creek flowing through here but once it settles down we will have a small crick,' said Zowin. "I would not anticipate Lake Delton being here this summer."


Crazy!
