A 124-year-old weather record was shattered Sunday in Madison, when an early evening cloudburst on Dane County’s east side dumped three inches of rain at the airport.
The total rainfall Sunday in Madison was 3.06 inches, eclipsing the old record of 2.4 inches for June 3, set in 1883.
….Two UW-Madison buildings had extensive flooding from the Sunday evening storm, but spokesman Dennis Chaptman said neither the Medical Sciences Center or Birge Hall have major damage and will only need water cleanup.
