Tow Companies Scramble After Milwaukee Flooding

Tow trucks worked nonstop across Milwaukee after torrential rain flooded streets, leaving hundreds of vehicles submerged and drivers stranded.

“I had to climb out my window,” said Donte Jones, whose car flooded near 58th Street and Thurston Avenue on Saturday night. “It’s pretty devastating for a lot of us.” His vehicle remained in the area Monday, waterlogged to the floorboards.

The worst flooding occurred near American Family Field, where dozens of drivers unknowingly steered into deep water. “Cars were actually being picked up and floating away in the current,” said Jeff Piller, owner of All City Towing. “After the water went down, they were stuck on sidewalks, medians, even front yards.” Piller’s team moved 131 cars to higher ground Sunday.
