Strong to severe storms downed trees, knocked out power in parts of SE Wisconsin

SHEBOYGAN -- Strong to severe storms pushed through southeast Wisconsin on Tuesday night, June 2 — prompting a severe T-storm watch for all of southeast Wisconsin, and severe thunderstorm warnings throughout the night.

The storms brought down trees and power lines. One of the hardest hit places was Sheboygan -- where downed trees were seen in the street and the Acuity Flag was ripped in half.

The We Energies Outage Map Wednesday morning, June 3 showed more than 2,000 without power in southeast Wisconsin.
