Floodwaters erode Wisconsin dam, force evacuations

A dam in a southeastern Wisconsin community has been breached and people living downriver were being evacuated, the National Weather Service said Friday.

The dam in Manawa along the Little Wolf River was breached at about 1:45 p.m. by floodwaters, said meteorologist Scott Cultice.

The city of Manawa said in a Facebook post on Friday afternoon that "first responders noticed land near the dam eroding, so evacuation downriver began."
