Storm Hits Madison with Power Chaos

Madison Fire Department raced against time Wednesday as storm damage sent over sixty emergency calls flooding in—mostly downed power lines between two and four p.m. With crews stretched thin, neighboring towns stepped in to help. On Vilas Avenue, a tree crashed onto a car and snapped wires, forcing evacuations—thankfully no one was hurt. Windigo Trail saw a pole collapse, sparking wires and requiring two dramatic elevator rescues, including a dog. Across neighborhoods, fallen trees left homes without power and crews scrambling to secure scenes, often staying until utility crews arrived to restore safety.
