Flooding in Rock County, south of Madison, has emergency management there passing out thousands of sandbags and sand along the Rock River.

The sheriff's department closed several roads due to high water.

Flood waters rose to near record levels east of Edgerton.

It's expected to reach almost 12-feet by Saturday.

That's almost 2-feet above flood stage.

Flood watches and warnings are in effect through the rest of the week on rivers in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

Why is there no way to find out what roads are closed, or which route one can take to go South toward Illinois. What would we do in case of an emergency or if we were under attack??????
