6-14 ft waves anticipated today for L. Michigan: voluntarty evacuations in Kenosha County

[HereSince1628]

PLEASANT PRAIRIE, Wis (WSAU) Residents of 265 homes in Kenosha County have been urged to voluntarily evacuate, as high waves from Super-storm Sandy are about to hit. Officials in Pleasant Prairie made the request last night for people living close to Lake Michigan and four creeks that drain into the big lake. Forecasters now predict waves of 8-to-14 feet on the Lake Michigan shoreline throughout eastern Wisconsin over the next couple days. Pleasant Prairie officials fear flooding close to the waters, and the village is providing sandbags. They’re asking people to be out by eight this morning. Pleasant Prairie has about 20-thousand residents close to the Illinois border.
