MILWAUKEE – Severe thunderstorms rolled across southeastern Wisconsin on Sunday evening, bringing high wind speeds which toppled trees and downed power lines.
At one point, WE Energies reported around 20,000 customers being without power, many in and around Waukesha.
Nearly 2000 customers were without power west of Kenosha as well.
Strong storms have caused power outages for some of our customers. We are working around the clock to quickly and safely restore your power.
