People in the Town of Morgan say high winds rocked their small town on Wednesday.

"I've never seen in this part of the country a sustained weather pattern like this," said Town of Morgan resident, Dave Behrend. 

The Oconto County town dealt with what most of Northeast Wisconsin saw on Wednesday, extreme high winds. 

"It's heavy objects that I noticed, different variations of metal and wood. They would just pick up and go," said Behrend. "This little sign which is attached to the front of the house, flipped over the house and landed in the backyard." 

The Wisconsin State Patrol says 14 semi trucks across Wisconsin blew over and power outages were also reported across the state. 

Because of the wind, Behrend says he can't see a view of open land out in his backyard. 

His main focus now is the cleanup ahead.
