The flooding also caused one confirmed death, as 19-year-old Kyle Prelesnik's body was recovered from Lincoln Creek about eight blocks away from his car which he had been driving in the storm.
Governor Jim Doyle declared a State of Emergency for Milwaukee County on July 23 as more than ten inches of rain had fallen between the two storms.
The damage caused by the flood eventually hastened the move of WVTV/WCGV to a repurposed commercial building alongside Interstate 41 at the end of 2013.
In August, after Governor Doyle appealed the rejection and submitted additional information on damages, the state received a "Public Assistance" declaration that authorized federal aid in connection with flooding and storm damage to public facilities in Milwaukee County and Grant County, Wisconsin, during the period July 20–24.
In September, President Barack Obama issued an "Individual Assistance declaration" that authorized federal aid for damaged homes and businesses.
