This used to be full of water but now it's just sand bars.))An embankment was in place to hold back the man-made lake, but it gave out under pressure...sending nearly all the water from Lake Delton into the Wisconsin River.At least 4 homes were swept away in the process.Lake Delton...which is surrounded by about 20 resorts...is one of the state's main tourist attractions.((Moffit: This has been around for years. I grew up as a kid coming here for vacation from Chicago...It's very sad.))No injuries have been reported at this point, but residents have been encouraged to evacuate.Wisconsin's governor says the state will do everything it can make sure the area is restored quickly.
