Appleton is NOT a Milwaukee suburb. They are hours away.
I thought 911 was only for emergencies .
Hello are you there
Why is the media so out of touch and sloppy? Yet telling us how great they are.
They probably think there’s more cows in Wisconsin than people.
Hello Austin
DUDE. Come on! Look at an effing map. Appleton is an hour and 45 minutes away. NOT a suburb of Milwaukee. Quality news work.
@stevemartin4255 hello Steve
Thank you for posting pictures Prayers for all to survive this. No deaths. All this can be repaired. Lives cannot be replaced things can. Prayers for all that has been in this path of storms. Flooding in other states, all believers pray for lives and safety. Peace!

Second hand embarrassment for the stupid interns who wrote the script and the script reader 🙄
So is Peoria a Chicago suburb?
God bless Wisconsin! But you do need to do more research!!!
Huh?
Horrible news 😢😢😢
Menasha and Appleton are not Milwaukee suburbs.
If you don’t have to go into Appleton, Menasha, Fox 🦊 Crossing, Neenah and Grand Chute, please stay out of there. Authorities have plenty to do without having you getting in the way. Please stay away.
