WALL OF RAIN — Video from Pier 290 in Williams Bay shows a tornado warned storm moving over Geneva Lake. This is why no one would’ve been able to see a tornado — the storm was producing tons of rainfall. Our thanks to Sheri V. for sharing this video with @tmj4 #wiwx

Hi Everyone, Tonight, we've got people with no power as well as hail/wind damage. Was it inconvenient to run over the last 2min of The Voice? Yes. Was it a "stupid decision"? Never. The safety of our viewers ALWAYS takes precedence over entertainment programming.
