Ron Amann, who owns for R.J Amann Builders in Lake Geneva, said Wednesday morning the storm left a work site in tatters.

\"There's two by fours thrown around like toothpicks,\" Amann described, \"The only good thing I can say is nobody was here. We had some guys [who] were working in the building lake and they, thank God, went home. We have no injuries and we talked to police last night and everybody was safe.\"

Many people looked at the damage and were relived no one was hurt.
