Floodwaters in New London, Wisconsin, have severely impacted the community, turning streets into rivers and causing extensive damage to local agriculture, including significant losses at Bees and Blossoms Farm. The farm owners reported losing over 100 heads of garlic and other crops, with estimated financial losses between $5,000 and $10,000 for the season, marking an unprecedented level of flooding not seen since the 1950s.

Despite the devastation, the community response has been overwhelmingly positive, with residents and volunteers stepping up to support one another. Local humane society members have bravely navigated dangerous conditions to rescue stranded animals, successfully reuniting a missing cat with its owner. As floodwaters continue to rise, New London faces an uncertain recovery but is strengthened by a strong sense of solidarity and mutual aid.
