Widespread storm damage has caused power outages that could last days for some people, according to Wisconsin Public Service.

WPS said the recent storms have caused so much damage that for some customers, outages could last for multiple days.

"The extent and damage will require us to rebuild parts of our system," WPS said in a tweet posted Saturday.

Storms that rolled in Friday and Saturday across Wisconsin brought heavy rain and winds, knocking down trees and power lines.
