Rain and up to 60 mph winds on Saturday and Sunday took out trees, downed power lines and left thousands of Southeastern Wisconsin residents in the dark.
Tom Leahy lives in Elm Grove and lost his power Saturday afternoon.
“We don’t have any water.
We have a pump, you know, a well, and we can’t flush the toilets.
We can’t wash our hands,” said Leahy.
“[My wife’s] gone to the gym today to take a shower.” Leahy has lived in his home for 35 years and says it’s rare for the power to be out longer than a few hours.
This weekend he was without electricity for over two days.
He’s had to sit in his car to charge his phone and throw away most of the food in his fridge.
