    Wausau Pilot & Review

    Severe storms that swept through the Wausau area Saturday caused widespread power outages and significant flooding, prompting police to urge caution on the roads.

    Some roadways, including Grand Avenue at the Wausau-Schofield border, had heavy flooding. The Wausau Police Department on Saturday evening issued a Facebook post asking residents to avoid driving until the flood waters recede.

    Thousands of people in the Wausau area were without power for more than an hour in the wake of the storm system.

    Hot, humid weather Sunday will bring yet another risk of strong storms in the area. Wausau Pilot will update weather conditions as they develop throughout the day.
