It’s unclear how much damage the storms caused but Oakdale Village President Rick Lee tells WISC TV he saw one smash into some homes in his village.
“Just on the outskirts of the village we had four semis laid on their sides and then it went through a couple of homes before crossing into the village of Wyeville,” Lee said. “On my way to make sure the storm shelter was open I looked just off to the left and it was there. It looked like it was wrapped in heavy, heavy rain.
While the threat of a tornado petered out before the wall of storms reached southeast Wisconsin, the system did dump plenty of rain on areas mainly north of Milwaukee County. Dodge County Sheriff Dale Schmidt tells our news partners at WBEV in Beaver Dam that they had some minor road flooding and numerous trees knocked down.
There haven’t been any reported injuries as a result of the storm as of Wednesday night. We are also waiting on official damage assessments.
