After a weekend of sunshine… rain has returned to areas of the sate that just don't need anymore.
The people in the small Grant County community of Bagley have been trying to recover from massive flooding that damaged more than a hundred homes a month ago.
But once again heavy rain moved through the area Monday morning. Julie Loeffelholz with Grant County Emergency Management says waters have receded but several homes were surrounded by water at one point.
Damage may not have been as extensive but the constant threat is taking its toll. Loeffelholz says she visited with one elderly couple who, in her words, were freaking out. The man had been hospitalized from stress after the first major flood in July. They've been trying to repair their home but the rain keeps coming.
Grant County has finally been put on the list of counties applying for federal disaster aid. FEMA inspectors will be in Grant County Tuesday assessing not only earlier damage but also the destruction done by the storms last week that so severely flooded Vernon, Crawford and Richland counties.
