On May 20, several one-vehicle crashes on I-41 in Fond du Lac County were caused by steady rain and hydroplaning—one car hit a wall on the southbound side near the airport causing a backup to Johnson Street while another skidded off the northbound side, crashing through a fence onto Mercury Marine’s property as the driver reported pain and was checked by emergency teams, with up to an inch of rain recorded on the roadways.

At 4 a.m. on May 21, a house on w2715 County Road S near Markesan was heavily engulfed in flames—multiple fire departments from eastern Green Lake along with mutual aid from the Brandon Fairwater and Waupun teams in Fond du Lac County responded, and details are still limited.
