Geneva Lake Storm Tragedy Claims Three Children | Madison News

A deadly storm with 100 mph winds slammed into Geneva Lake, capsizing a 25-foot boat carrying nine people — including four children — and claiming the lives of three young victims aged 10, 7, and 6. Despite the experienced operator’s efforts to find shelter, massive waves flipped the vessel, throwing everyone into the water. Seven were rescued, but divers found the children trapped inside the submerged boat at 32 feet deep. All were wearing life jackets, and preliminary findings point to freshwater drowning with no external injuries. Authorities are investigating, and the identities of those aboard remain private as the community grieves this tragic loss.
