Storm causes damage in Mayville and Juneau in Dodge County

Dodge County Sheriff Dale Schmidt posts press release asking drivers stay out of hit area.

At about 6:00 pm on Thursday, May 15, 2025, the Dodge County Area had significant storm cells that moved through the Dodge County area. As a result, significant damage has occurred, which primarily occurred in the Juneau and Mayville areas. Currently, residents in those affected areas are encouraged to shelter in place while emergency crews work to clean up damage and restore power. Many streets and highways are closed due to power lines and trees being down. We are asking that all non–residents avoid the cities of Juneau and Mayville to allow emergency responders to assist those affected.

DO NOT drive around barricades or emergency vehicles unless directed to do so, as the streets and highways are closed for your safety.

City of Juneau residents who have been displaced from their homes are encouraged to report to Dodgeland Schools 401, S. Western Ave, Juneau, WI.

City of Mayville residents who have been displaced from their homes are encouraged to report to the Tag Center, 1700 Breckenridge St, Mayville.

Red Cross and Dodge County Health and Human Services/Public Health are on scene to assist.

At this point, only minor injuries have been reported to emergency personnel.

Additional information will be relayed to the public later this evening at 8:30 pm. A press conference will be held at the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office, 124 West St. Access to the Sheriff’s Office must be from the south side of Juneau, as the north side of Juneau is completely shut down.

We appreciate everyone’s patience as we work to meet the public’s needs.
