A wave of severe storms struck the US Plains and Midwest on Monday, injuring several people and destroying homes across Kansas, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, with forecasters warning of renewed tornado threats, giant hail, and damaging wind gusts through Tuesday evening. In Kansas, multiple counties reported minor injuries and structural damage, including destroyed homes and overturned recreational vehicles, while three tornadoes touched down in southern Minnesota and another near Gilman, Wisconsin, causing farm damage and peeling the roof off a home in the village of Steuben. The storms left more than 25,000 customers without power in Wisconsin alone, forced school closures near Madison, and compounded an existing flood emergency in Michigan, where Governor Gretchen Whitmer declared a state of emergency at the Cheboygan Lock and Dam Complex after record snowfall and heavy rain pushed water levels dangerously close to the top of the structure.
