    Strong wind and heavy rain caused damage and flooding across Southeastern Wisconsin throughout Saturday evening.

    The Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Office says in a post on Facebook that there is significant flooding 'particularly along the line from Waupun through Oakfield to Eden.' One of their more serious calls from Saturday involved a vehicle that was swept off the road and into a nearby creek in Eden. The driver was able to get out before the vehicle became fully submerged. The Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Office also says that several roadways remain impassable and are marked with barricades.

    In Rock County, there was minor to significant damage reported. The Rock County Sheriff's Office says that debris caused the closure of some roadways. Residents on the South side of Janesville also experienced power outages due to damage to power infrastructure, according to the Rock County Sheriff's Office. No injuries have been reported due to the storm in Rock County.
