Waubeka residents dealing with flooding
WAUBEKA -- Flooding concerns continue across the Midwest -- and residents in the Town of Waubeka in Ozaukee County trying to stay dry. The flooding was prompted by ice jams on the Milwaukee River.
Officials with the American Red Cross set up a reception center at the Waubeka Fire Department, with food and cleanup kits available for those dealing with flooding. Red Cross volunteers went door-to-door on Sunday, checking on residents.
