    WISCONSIN TORNADOES

    By DaElmer  |  Posted April 11, 2011  |  Wisconsin
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     DaElmer says the storm winds blew through his hundred year old home. He says that he has been married for ten years and he never saw his wife so scared. 'I probably scared my kids because I screamed for them to go down stairs and then I ran out of the door with my camera,' he says.
    - Jareen, CNN iReport producer

    At least 2 Tornado's have been confirmed in Kaukuana & Merrill, Wisconsin. Houses are being reported as "Blown Away" in Merrill, WI. Police scanner traffic are talking about many trees down, power lines down and roads flooded. Law Enforcement reports that there will be a plane up in the morning too. Red Cross are taking care of peoples needs.

    In Kaukuana, WI a local KwikTrip was damaged badly and many houses too were badly damaged. Kaukauna's police chief says there are no reported injuries from tonight's storms.

     

    The video being played is in Iron Mountain, Michigan where we didn't get too bad of damage.

     

    I have a RIP Page on FaceBook- "RIP Fond du Lac Police Officer Craig Birkholz" I help run with OVER 15,000 people on this  group. Many of these people are from the Green Bay, WI area and south  towards Kaukauna & Fond Du Lac, WI where all the other Tornadoes were...

    For  over 2 hours I was posting Emergency Info to ALL 15,000+ people. There  were people that had no power- TV/Cable service.. So I was their ONLY  link.. they were getting my updates over their phones. One person on  this group said they wouldn't have known about these tornadoes had it  not been for my posts.  I hope I "helped" save a life.. I did what I thought SHOULD be done..
