A few more news and notes from Sunday’s crazy November storm …
- Mitchell International Airport reported 2.17 inches of rain fell on Sunday.
- Fox 6 has a story about the storm’s impacts on South Milwaukee, including more on the street flooding and power outages. At one point, more than 3,500 We Energies were without power, but it was restored by 1 p.m.
- WDJT also has a story about some local storm impacts — oddly enough, shot on my block with interviews with three of our neighbors. (That blue minivan in the background is ours.)
- There were also reports on Facebook that tornado sirens did not go off in some places in South Milwaukee. I’m looking into this and will post more when I learn more. (I can’t verify this with my own ears because I was in my church basement during the storm.)
In the end, not too bad. With as many tornadoes that tore through Illinois, it could have been so much worse.

I’m glad you said that others didn’t hear sirens going off in South Milwaukee. We’re near Hickory Park. I commented to my husband that it was strange to clearly hear the sirens in Oak Creek from the west side of the house, the sirens in Cudahy from the North side of the house, but nothing from the south side of the house which would be the ones in South Milwaukee. I thought it was just me.
the one at the fire station went off but some people probably to the west or northwest had trouble hearing it because of the winds blowing west to east
