Severe Flooding Hits Wisconsin, Midwest Rebuilds After Storms
Floodwaters from record rainfall have inundated streets in Wisconsin, trapping drivers and leading to highway closures. The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office has urged residents to avoid driving in southeast Wisconsin. Governor Tony Evers declared a state of emergency following storms that began on Monday, bringing strong winds, hail, and heavy rain. At least three tornadoes have been confirmed, with more severe weather anticipated. In Michigan, communities are recovering from overnight storms that damaged infrastructure, including two ice arenas, and caused widespread flooding. The National Weather Service has reported over 400 instances of hail, winds exceeding 60 mph, or tornadoes across the affected regions.
