OCONTO — Oconto County Sheriff Todd Skarban said Thursday the damage from a July 19 windstorm was the worst he’s ever seen, including the 2007 tornado that struck the Mountain area.
Skarban and Emergency Management Director Tim Magnin briefed the County Board on the aftermath of the macroburst that struck Northeast Wisconsin that night, leveling thousands of trees and leaving more than 40,000 county residents and businesses in the dark, some for as much as eight days.
