Happy 4th of July! - A message of Corey

A devastating storm tore through Lake Geneva, claiming three young lives when a boat capsized on the lake, while winds and flooding ripped through neighborhoods from Sharon to Como, leaving downed power lines, scattered debris, and homes damaged by fallen trees. In Sharon, a silo collapse injured motorists, and nearly 7,400 residents lost power. Cleanup crews are racing to restore electricity and clear wreckage as communities grapple with the aftermath and begin the long road to recovery.

Storms are rolling through southern Wisconsin right now, with scattered showers, thunder, and even brief funnel clouds reported near the Illinois border—don’t be surprised if you hear thunder or feel gusty winds. While these funnels are usually harmless, they’re still wild to see. Rain will move in, reducing chances of more funnels. Sunday brings cooler temps in the mid-to-upper 70s with a small chance of isolated showers, but storm action is winding down. Monday and Tuesday promise sweet, comfortable summer weather with highs in the 80s and clear skies. But get ready—another round of storms could hit late Wednesday or Thursday as a cold front moves in, bringing organized rain. After that, drier conditions and low 80s return for the end of the week.

Severe storms forced the cancellation of Washington D.C.’s big 250th anniversary rally, with evacuations ordered and crowds directed to museums and federal buildings for safety. Meanwhile, cities like Chicago and New York pressed on—tall ships sailed past Liberty, new citizens took the oath, and people signed historic documents despite sweltering heat. National Guard helped guide evacuees as weather turned dangerous, but pride and patriotism still pulsed through the crowds, watching jets soar overhead. Amid a politically divided nation and a heated election year, the milestone unfolded as a powerful reminder of America’s enduring spirit—and its complex, evolving identity.
