Cleanup from an unseasonable spate of December storms across Wisconsin is continuing into the holidays as high winds caused significant damage.


Frederica Freyberg:

Finally tonight, clean-up will likely continue into the holidays for communities across Wisconsin after this week’s high-wind storms blew through the state. Northern parts of the state saw the highest wind gusts at more than 75 miles per hour. The wind knocked out power to thousands of customers and in addition to the damage, closed schools in some districts. And we wish luck to those folks cleaning up.
