Ford car navigates flood ravaged Wisconsin roads
Orriel Philbrick and Raymond Roser returned from Milwaukee to Baraboo driving a Ford through roads nearly impassable after a heavy storm. They rode a train to West Allis, then waded through water to streetcars. Flooded streams reached across highways and Rio suffered two foot street washouts with hail and water flooding the Badger Place plant. The trip back showed extensive debris and washed out bridges, yet their car was among the first to complete the journey, taking 38 minutes Portage to Baraboo.
