The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning until 10:30 on Friday evening that included the Whitewater area after something around 3-1/2 inches of rain fell in a matter of hours. Rock County, including Janesville, has taken the brunt of the storm. Approximately ten buildings in Emerald Grove were damaged by a possible tornado, and a number of bridges and roads are closed from flooding.

Starin Road is flooded just east of Fremont Street by the bridge, with barriers that apparently do not include a “road closed” sign, but it might be assumed that is the intention. Tom Ganser passed on these photos at 8:40 a.m. on Saturday, indicating that he “can’t believe all the vehicles driving through the water.”
