A powerful tornado described as 'extremely dangerous' tore through northeast Wisconsin, ripping roofs off homes and leaving thousands without power. The storm system then pushed into the Northeast, bringing damaging winds and heavy rain. The National Weather Service issued multiple warnings as the storms moved rapidly. Emergency crews are assessing damage and restoring power. The tornado, with winds estimated over 150 mph, carved a path through rural areas and small towns. In Green Bay and surrounding counties, emergency shelters opened for displaced residents. The storms also produced hail and flash flooding in parts of New York and Pennsylvania. Meteorologists warn of additional severe weather risk later in the week. The full extent of the damage is still being evaluated.
