A regional response team moved street by street through Brookfield checking for injured people after last Tuesday's macroburst. They then spray painted the word "checked" or "searched" on the pavement at the end of each road. Brookfield Police Chief Jay Purcell says the destruction was extensive and many homes sustained damage.
Police released video of the storm hitting the department, knocking over trees.
Purcell says the community has been outstanding, coming together to help neighbors. He also thanked people for their generosity toward police and fire with food and monetary donations.
