A massive storm and confirmed tornado left a path of destruction through northeast Wisconsin yesterday.
Three communities in the Fox Valley have declared local states of emergency.
As thousands of people remain without power today, the village of Fox Crossing and City of Manasia are two of the area's hardest hit.
The National Weather Service says initial assessments show at least EF2 tornado damage in Manasia.
City leaders say while some people were injured, no one was killed in the storms.
Many homes and b-
businesses are completely destroyed with debris scattered for miles.
Manasha Mayor Austin Hammond says Manasha is closed.
The mayor issued a formal declaration later in the afternoon saying non-emergency services are limited.
There's a citywide curfew in effect from 10 p.m.
to 5 a.m.
until further notice.
City leaders are urging people to stay off the roads so emergency responders can get to downed power lines and other hazards around the city.
They're asking people to please only call 911 or the Monash Police Department for emergencies.
Christ the Rock Church is serving as an emergency shelter for people needing a place to stay.
A boil water advisory is in effect until further notice for anyone using the village of Fox Crossing Water Utility after the East Water System was impacted by the storms.
Further to the north in Seanal County, that same storm system dropped grapefruit-sized hail on people in Gresham.
Residents there shared images of hailstones the size of softballs.
Many people reported smashed windshields and other damage from the brief but extreme hailstorm.
And now that that storm's gone through, we should be feeling some relief from the oppressive heat and humidity blanketing our state.
A look at a calmer forecast is coming up in the weather.
Cleanup continues today in northeast Wisconsin after a confirmed tornado tore through the Appleton area just afternoon yesterday.
Debris is scattered for miles and power lines litter the streets in the city of Manasha, one of the hardest hit areas.
Homes and businesses there lie in ruins and the city's mayor has declared Manasha is closed.
meaning non-emergency services are limited.
The area is under a boil water advisory and nightly curfew until further notice, as thousands remain without power.
The National Weather Service said yesterday's tornado was at least an EF2, if not stronger.
Fortunately, the skies were much friendlier last week as aviation enthusiasts came out in record-setting numbers yet again for last week's annual EAA Air Venture.
The week-long fly-in convention wrapped up on Sunday afternoon, with total attendance numbers reaching about 734,000.
That beats last year's attendance of 704,000.
Organizers say people came to Oshkosh from nearly 100 different countries around the world.
Whitman Regional Airport averages around 100 takeoffs and landings per hour during the annual aviation event.
If you plan to vote in Wisconsin's upcoming primary, officials say now's the time to make sure you have the right ID.
The DMV says most people already have what they need, like a driver's license or a state ID.
Other options, including some student and military IDs, are also accepted.
If you don't have one, the state offers free ID cards and even a temporary receipt you can use at the polls.
And that's your state news update.

The Brewers get shut out.
Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with Sports Baseball.
The Brewers kicked off their West Coast trip against the Giants last night with a thud, losing three to nothing at Oracle Park.
The Brewers with just three hits, committing one error.
One of the reasons the team looked so flat was because they didn't get into San Francisco until early Monday morning, manager Pat Murphy, revealing to reporters after the game, the Brewers team charter flight was delayed, leaving them on the tarmac five hours before finally taking off.
Milwaukee.
Game two of the series is tonight.
NFL.
When the Packers open up training camp practice tomorrow morning, there'll be plenty of new faces and for good reason.
Let's not underestimate what Matt LaFleur said at the owner's meetings about certain guys who were not bought into the culture.
They're not here anymore.
We can extrapolate who those guys were.
Rashawn Gary, business decisions being made at the goal line, not wrap up tackling.
You just can't have these things.
That's Packers Analyst Peter Bukowski with Sports.
I'm Mike Clemens.
It is going to be mostly sunny today with a high right around 85 this afternoon tonight.
Mostly clear.
We'll drop to the low sixties tomorrow.
Plenty of sunshine and a little warmer with a high in the mid to upper eighties.
I'm meteorologist Sean Cable.
