Overview
Rainfall and flooding of historic proportions struck parts of the Upper Mississippi River Valley on Saturday night, August 18th, continuing through Sunday, August 19th. Rainfall in excess of 15 inches fell in some areas, with the main swath of heaviest rain centered along a line from Claremont and Rochester, Minnesota to La Crosse, Viroqua, and Muscoda, Wisconsin. A 24-hour rainfall record was set for the state of Minnesota near Hokah, MN (Houston Co.) with 15.10 inches, while unofficial readings may have exceeded 17".
There were numerous mudslides, roads washed out, and flash flooding that killed 7 people. The community of Rushford, MN was flooded by Rush Creek and infrastructure remained damaged for months. Damage costs likely exceeded $200 Million.

Why did it happen?
A stalled frontal boundary acted as the focus for the continuous redevelopment of showers and thunderstorms throughout the weekend. A moist and warm air mass rose up and over this boundary, providing the fuel for the rain. Due to the training nature of the storms, heavy rain persisted hour after hour across southeast Minnesota into southwest Wisconsin, with rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour common.

Heavy rain was expected that night, which prompted a Flash Flood Watch for the area. Graphics and web page stories highlighted the heavy rain potential, although the exact area where the heaviest rain would fall was not detailed initially.
River and flash flood warnings followed and were issued for nearly 2 days given the scope of the heavy rain, massive flooding, and infrastructure damage. Travel was highly discouraged, if not downright dangerous.
