Description: Heavy rains in the Midwest caused a 245-acre lake in the town of Lake Delton, Wis., to overflow June 9, 2008, destroying several homes as it breached a local highway, and completely drained into the nearby Wisconsin River. Serious flooding throughout the State of Wisconsin prompted the governor to declare a state of emergency, allowing Wisconsin's Adjutant General, Brigadier General Don Dunbar to activate National Guard troops to assist in the relief effort.
