Strong storms tore through the Midwest overnight, prompting a tornado watch in the Chicago area as powerful winds and at least one tornado damaged homes and an elementary school in two towns in Wisconsin and injured at least five people.
A state of emergency was declared in Platteville, Wis., about 70 miles southwest of Madison, after high winds destroyed dozens of homes and felled trees across the city, according to city manager Larry Bierke. He said five people were hurt in the storm, including one who suffered "major" injuries.
