A storm that hit northeast Wisconsin early Tuesday morning caused power outages and wiped out an entire road in Door County. More than two inches of rain fell in many parts of the peninsula during a four-hour span, beginning shortly after midnight. The Door County Emergency Management Department and the Door County Highway Department closed County Highway U at Rosewood Road and S. Shiloh Road intersection at 8:30 a.m. after flood waters washed out a culvert. A detour has been set up to utilize CTH J, CTH S, and Kennedy Drive in Kewaunee County while the highway department assesses the damage and repairs it when possible.
Several roads in Door and Kewaunee counties also experienced flooding, with the water standing six to eight inches in some spots.
Over 12,000 Wisconsin Public Service customers were without power when they woke up this morning, with Door County's peak at about 430 customers and Kewaunee County's at approximately 80. As of 9:45 a.m., just shy of 400 customers in Door County were still without power, most of which were north of Sister Bay. WPS estimates that the power will be restored by 11 a.m.
