A devastating storm slammed into Geneva Lake, capsizing a boat carrying ten people — six adults and four children — all of whom were wearing life jackets. Tragically, three children were later found deceased, while six adults and one child were rescued. The storm’s fury left Walworth County in ruins, with downed trees, power lines, crushed cars, and trapped residents. Emergency crews, overwhelmed, called in reinforcements from neighboring counties. Roads were blocked, parks and even a cemetery were shut down, and Lake Geneva officially declared a state of emergency as crews raced to clear debris and restore services.

Happy 4th of July! - A message of Corey

A lightning-sparked wildfire dubbed the Long Two fire has ignited in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, near Pine Lake in Cook County. Though small at just 1.3 acres, crews are treating it with urgency, deploying firefighters, water pumps, and aircraft on standby as they work to contain the flames using the lakeshore as a natural barrier. Operations continue through the holiday weekend as crews focus on establishing a safe access route from the lake. Authorities urge the public to stay away for safety and to avoid unauthorized drone flights, which are illegal and hazardous. No official closures are in place, but the Forest Service is closely monitoring the situation to keep the fire under control.

The Minnesota Twins unleashed a historic offensive storm, crushing six home runs in one game—including two from Josh Bell—to obliterate the Yankees 11-4. With a shaky start from Zebby Matthews and a shaky Yankees defense, the Twins never looked back, while New York’s late homers from Domínguez and Schuemann couldn’t stem the tide. The bullpen, led by Taylor Rogers’ clutch play, sealed the win as both teams prepare for a Sunday rematch featuring Joe Ryan vs. Ryan Weathers.

Minnesota gears up for its 250th birthday in 2026 with a bang—reenactors fired flintlock muskets at Riverfront Memorial Park last Saturday.

Coon Rapids, Minnesota, turns its historic Fire Station Three into a sky-filling spectacle for its Fourth of July fireworks show — a decades-old tradition powered by 80+ boxes of fireworks, 429 precision-triggered cues, and a certified expert behind the scenes. Safety is paramount: crews stand behind reinforced walls feeling the boom more than seeing it, the roof’s drenched in water, and a ground safety zone is enforced. Despite Minnesota’s strict fireworks laws, Coon Rapids’ special permits and professional oversight make this dazzling display not just legal, but a beloved community cornerstone.
