24 tornados in WI last night!

[Minnie824]

I can't find a new article today, but DH & I were watching the news and they said there were 24 tornados in southern wiconsin last night...at least 1 person killed. WGN in Chicago covered the story last night as well as NBC (those were the 2 we watched). Thats just unbelievable! Everyone from WI ok?

Crazy weather last night!!! We didn't get tornadoes in Green Bay, but had some street flooding. Got 2 inches of rain in an hour. I was worried that I wasn't going to get home from play practice. I thought my car was going to stall out.

Here is an article in our paper:

Thank you for your concern for us Wisconsonites. I believe we are just fine. I was driving back home (northern Wisconsin) from the Madison area yesterday and it was just terrible. A lot of us just had to pull to the side of the road it was pouring so hard. I also watched on the news when I got home and there was a lot of damage and a death so that was hard to hear. This state has just been getting pounded this year for some reason. My daughter and I have spent a lot of time in our basement. We are both looking forward to leaving our wonderful state for our first Disneyworld trip next month. So thanks again for thinking of us! Take care and god bless!

Finally some rain here yesterday, a few inches. We were under the severe watch and I was watching the radar as they rolled through WI, I could see they were bad. Good wishes for our neighbors to the north.

Anyone know if there was damage in the Baraboo area?

I think that the damage was south of Baraboo. We were in the path of the storm that went through Stoughton (just south of Madison) where there was a huge tornado and one confirmed death. The storm continued east, southeast. There are unconfirmed reports of several tornados in our area including Palmyra which is 4 miles from our house. My kids went to Palmyra for volleyball this morning so I'll hear if they saw any damage or heard anything from the other girls. I headed north 20 miles to work and saw no damage. They said it didn't even rain in the town where I work. We have lots of trees down, mostly in our horse pasture. The horses are okay. It was a scary evening.
