A tornado has struck northeastern Wisconsin, causing widespread damage and power outages. The National Weather Service confirmed Monday afternoon's tornado in Winnebago County. Cities including Appleton and Menasha reported severe impacts, with roofs ripped off homes and vehicles flipped over. Menasha Police Chief Matt Albrecht said many businesses and homes were severely affected. Despite the destruction, there have been no immediate reports of injuries or fatalities. Emergency officials are still assessing the damage and searching the stricken area. The storm knocked out power to over 30,000 people, and authorities have opened a shelter for those displaced.

Torrential rains in West Virginia have caused flash flooding that inundated homes and businesses. Authorities say the floods washed out bridges and led to numerous water rescues in portions of the state. West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey declared a state of emergency for all 55 counties Tuesday night. Forecasters said up to 7 inches of rain fell in some places. There are no reports of deaths or missing people. Morrisey has sent more than 300 National Guard members to affected areas. The rains were part of wide-ranging storms that produced reports of tornadoes in several states.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department says more than 40 people have been rescued from high waters as heavy downpours drenching South Texas continue to raise the risk of flash flooding. Most of the rescues have been in the Uvalde County area. The storms also spawned a tornado in San Antonio on Wednesday morning. The downpours began Tuesday. More than six million people in 57 counties were under a National Service flood watch, and in some areas flash flood warnings are in effect. In Kerr County, where last year flooding killed more than 100 people, officials say they're in contact with summer camps. There have been no reports of deaths or injuries.

China has allocated millions in relief funding for disaster-hit areas after severe storms and a deadly landslide. The central government has provided $7.4 million to restore infrastructure in Hubei province and other funds to rebuild homes and resettle residents. Eleven people died in thunderstorms and tornadoes Monday. Gansu province will receive $4.4 million after a landslide killed 21 forestry workers. Earlier funding was allocated for Guangxi, where flooding from Tropical Storm Maysak has caused six deaths and 130,000 evacuations. Heavy rain continues to batter China, with more from a typhoon expected over the weekend.
