Thunderstorm damages trees, buildings in Wisconsin Rapids

Dianne Huilman called her daughter early Monday morning. "You’ve heard of Christmas in July?" Huilman, 62, Wisconsin Rapids, asked her daughter, Krista Weidman of Grand Rapids. "We’ve got our Christmas tree in the kitchen." To be more accurate, the Huilmans, who live in the 400 block of Woodland Avenue in Wisconsin Rapids, had about 3 feet of a tree branch sticking through their kitchen ceiling and another branch that smashed through their garage roof and extended from the ceiling to the floor.
