Thankfully, no fatalities were reported, though a few injuries were treated. Three communities—Neenah, Menasha, and Grand Chute—declared states of emergency to speed up recovery and access aid. Curfews are now in place from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. in Menasha and Fox Crossing to keep emergency crews safe and efficient, with exceptions for essential workers.
