South Milwaukee received 6.65 inches of rain on Thursday at the wastewater treatment facility on 5th Avenue.
That’s the sixth-most of all reporting stations in the area, behind three in Milwaukee and one each in Oak Creek and Franklin. The latter two are significant because the heavy rains there ultimately drain into Oak Creek, which remained above flood stage Thursday night.
According to this report from the National Weather Service, Oak Creek in South Milwaukee stood at 9.4 feet as of 9:25 p.m., well above its flood stage of eight feet.
