Overview
- Governor Tony Evers, who signed Executive Order #289 on Wednesday, put Wisconsin under an emergency to coordinate help for areas hit by severe storms.
- The State Emergency Operations Center moved to Level 2 on April 14 to add staff and resources for damage assessments, debris removal and utility restoration.
- National Weather Service teams are still surveying damage, with reports ranging from three to six tornadoes and confirmed tracks near Sussex, East Troy, Endeavor and south of Beaver Dam.
- Storms have caused flooding, power outages and damaged buildings, with northeast communities reporting road washouts and a sinkhole in Suamico that took out part of a road.
- Forecasters expect more storms through Saturday, so officials urge people to monitor warnings, check on neighbors and prepare for large hail, strong winds and heavy rain.
