Severe thunderstorms brought baseball-size hail and more than 6 inches of rain to parts of the state, authorities said.

A tornado struck the Bear Paw Resort near Langlade. “The resort was leveled,” said Gina Panzica of Langlade County Rural Fire Control.

At least five tornadoes were reported statewide, with four people hurt. Large hailstones fell in Wisconsin Rapids, knocking out the windshield of a police car, said Karen Ryun, a dispatcher. Other cars also were damaged.
