The storms caused power outages for tens of thousands of people and prompted tornado warnings.
Wisconsin's Marathon County reported a 78 mph wind gust Wednesday night—more than the 74 mph sustained winds needed to classify a Category 1 hurricane—according to the National Weather Service.
The tornado warnings expired by 2 a.m. on Thursday, but Governor Tony Evers declared a state of emergency to spur relief efforts. The declaration activates the Wisconsin National Guard, as well as aid from state agencies. The weather service on Wednesday warned that the severe weather sweeping across upper Midwest states could include hurricane force winds and tornadoes and develop into a derecho — a rare type of storm that's often described as an inland hurricane.
