Multiple rounds of hail hit much of southeastern Wisconsin during the early afternoon on Wednesday, catching many residents by surprise. Various areas along the Wasatch Front, including Rubicon, experienced hailstones measuring up to two inches, marking the largest reported hailstones in Wisconsin since 1950. Although there were no official reports of injuries or severe damage, the National Weather Service issued several severe thunderstorm warnings throughout Wednesday, highlighting the potential vehicle damage and street flooding in certain areas. Despite the danger of severe weather conditions, many Wisconsin residents are still not receiving typical weather alerts, leaving them unprepared in the face of sudden and severe weather. Observers suggest improved alert techniques for areas affected by sudden weather changes. Officials advise that residents in Wisconsin should maintain an emergency kit and keep emergency contacts informed of their location during severe weather conditions.
