Dane County Executive Joe Parisi has declared a state of emergency and one person has been confirmed dead after a deluge of heavy rain fell Monday evening. Eleven to 13 inches of rain fell in some areas of western Dane County, according to the National Weather Service, flooding major roads and intersections and knocking out power to thousands of people. The floods led to dozens of water rescues and continued to cause disruptions to Tuesday morning commutes. At 10:45 a.m. Tuesday, the Madison Fire Department held a press conference at Greentree-Chapel Hill Park on Madison's west side where they announced they had found the body of a man swept away in the floods Monday.
