Mother Nature added insult to injury late Monday, Sept. 3 when she opened the flood gates again dumping an additional 2 to 4 inches of rain across an already rain-saturated Coulee Region. The down pour started at approximately 10:30 p.m. and continued into the early morning hours of Tuesday, Sept. 4. The additional rain had firefighters and law enforcement once again evacuating some houses and campers in low lying areas. The entire Coulee Region is still in flood recovery mode after 10 to 12 inches of rain fell one week earlier wreaking havoc. Especially hard hit was Vernon County with massive flooding along the Coon Creek and the Kickapoo River that washed out numerous roads and left many bridges compromised.
