Flood Warnings Alarm Central Wisconsin People

Dale Talg said, "I saw all the flood lights and front end loaders on the other side of [State Hwy] 107 out and that's when I started to worry something happened to my house."

Talg has been living in Marathon City for 11 years. Last Fall, water levels were so high they covered Talg's backyard, making a clear route straight to his house. The Big Rib River crested before it could damage his house and now he says he's better prepared.

"This year I'm a little more comfortable. FEMA raised the flood plane, so now my house is in the flood plane and I'm forced to get flood insurance. So this year my house is insured where last year at this time it was not."

NewsChannel 7's Meteorologist, Jeremy Tabin said, "Your best bet if you're not in the situation where there is flooding happening is just have that plan around that if it occurs that you have some place to go to higher grounds."

Talg said he wants to move, but since his house is in a flood plain he said it will be hard to make a profit.

Wolf River Rafting Wisconsin Photos | Wilderness Expeditions

During the nineteenth century, pine logs were lashed together to form easily floatable rafts that traveled from Minnesota and Wisconsin down the Mississippi River to build the farms and towns of the lower Midwest. These huge log rafts were steered down the river by steamboat pilots whose skill and intimate knowledge of the rivers many hazards were legendary. Charles Edward Russell, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, chronicles the history and river lore of seventy years of lumber rafting. The Middle Fork American is a suitable raft trip for the active, fit and adventurous first-timer or a great choice for those seeking a step-up from the more crowded South Fork American River. Your trip is set in a beautiful wilderness canyon that is eligible for Federal Wild & Scenic status. From its headwaters in the Granite Chief Wilderness, it flows through steep, rugged and forested canyons within the Tahoe National Forest and into the Auburn State Recreation Area. This is one of your guides favorite California white water rafting runs, as they appreciate escaping into this pristine road-less area. This American River Rafting Class 4 adventure is close to civilization, yet it is possible to feel that you are the only people on the river.The infamous “Tunnel Chute” is one of the first big rapids encountered and there are numerous Class III-IV rapids in the first six miles, such as Last Chance, Submarine Hole and Kanaka. For the next seven miles, the pace is more mellow, allowing time to appreciate the solitude and beauty of the lush, forested canyon. You may get a glimpse of some wildlife, perhaps a bear, or spot a trout swimming in the incredibly clean and clear Sierra mountain water. We stop for lunch and possible side hikes while plenty of excitement lies ahead.The Ruck-a-Chucky rapids start just below the entrance of Canyon Creek. A 20′ drop through a sieve of huge boulders makes the middle of these three rapids a mandatory portage, but the Class IV drops of Upper and Lower Ruck-a-Chucky are usually runnable. A two mile gorge laced with Class III-IV rapids such as Parallel Parking and Catapult follow.Its a long but satisfying day. Your rafting finishes after 17 miles, at the old Greenwood Bridge site. The bridge was demolished in the 1954 floods by a 50′ wall of water that surged down the canyon after the old Hell Hole Reservoir failed.
