(AP Photo/The Reporter, Pat Flood) News-Chronicle BERLIN, Wis. - The Fox River hit record levels Saturday and was expected to rise another foot by Sunday. "I grew up in the city," said Kevin Block, 33, an investigator with the Berlin Police Department. "I've never seen it this high." City workers and volunteers prepared by sandbagging between 30 and 50 homes. As of Saturday afternoon, the river was at 15 feet, a half foot above the record, and was expected to crest at 16 feet Sunday afternoon, Block said. "We've done as much as we can with sandbags and notifying the public," he said. Two streets and portions of a few other streets were flooded and closed Saturday. Officials evacuated a small two-story apartment building on the river in the downtown area Friday because flooding in the basement and first floor had cut off heat, water and electricity. In Fond du Lac County, waters receded Saturday as Mother Nature brought temporary relief from the rain. But more precipitation was expected late Saturday and early Sunday on already saturated land, officials said. "If it rains again, we're going to be right back where we started," Fond du Lac Police Capt. Mike Frank said. "There's no place for it to go." Frank said the Fond du Lac River had receded about a foot. All major roads were open and no evacuations were done Saturday, he said. About 50 people voluntary evacuated in Fond du Lac Friday because of rising waters in the Fond du Lac River and DeNeveu Creek. In North Fond du Lac, about 150 people voluntarily evacuated their homes Friday, but returned by that afternoon, Police Capt. Darren Pautsch said. Most of the threatened homes were along the normally calm Mosher Creek. "Thankfully, we didn't get the rain last night that we were predicting," he said. There were no injuries reported in either area. An estimate of damages was not available. About an inch of rain fell in the Fond du Lac area Friday and early Saturday, the National Weather Service said. Darrin Hansing, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Sullivan, said most of the state was under sunny skies Saturday, but storms were forecast for Saturday night and Sunday. The possibility of showers and thunderstorms is forecast for the state through Wednesday.
