Damage figures have climbed to more than $200 million from the extensive flooding in southern Wisconsin this month, and that's with the damage in many counties not yet included.
The Waukesha County executive reports about $85 million in losses, including $73 million in damage to homes, $6 million to businesses and just under $4 million in debris cleanup, roadway repairs and damage to dams.
In Dane County, officials say there's been $64 million in agricultural damage, another $5 million to homes and businesses and almost $4 million in infrastructure damage.
Dodge County has tallied at least $12 million in crop damage and just over $1 million in residential damage.
In Vernon County, emergency management officials report $6.5 million in damage to homes and businesses, $5.5 million for crop losses and $3.5 million in costs for debris cleanup and road and bridge repair.
Richland County reports at least $3 million in damage to residential property, about half of it in Viola, with farm damage still being tallied.
The damage in Washington and Ozaukee counties totals $12 million so far, with half of the losses to homes.
