One person was hurt in the severe storms that rolled through Lincoln County last night.
Damage is being reported across the Northwoods.
The Lincoln County dispatch got a 911 call around 1:20 Tuesday morning.
The caller said a cabin in the Tomahawk area was destroyed by falling trees and a person was stuck inside and injured.
Tomahawk Fire had to cut a path through downed trees for medical first responders to get to the person.
The Sheriff’s Office says five or six structures were damaged in the storm.
There was about a five-acre patch of land that had significant tree damage and “evidence that suggested there may have been rotation.”
Deputies, along with Tomahawk Fire and Ambulance, worked for several hours to clear a path to all cabins to confirm there were no other injured persons.
All information concerning the damaged structures and injured party was passed along to the National Weather Service for their review.
Wisconsin Public Service says it restored power to more than 10,000 homes and businesses after the storm early Tuesday morning.
As of 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, about 1,900 customers were without electricity.
