Video Description
Severe storms racked a path of destruction across southern Wisconsin Friday, July 28, 2023, leaving over 85,000 without power across southeastern Wisconsin according to We Energy. The following video was captured in the Oconomowoc area, as the severe warned squall line that was warned for 70 mph winds worked into the region. As it neared the area, a notch in the leading edge of the line prompted the issuance of a tornado warning for several cities in Waukesha County, and several streets became flooded from the heavy rain.
