At least 25 other people were injured when a storm leveled the Prairie Lake Estate Mobile Park on State Highway 53 between Chetek and Cameron. The National Weather Service reported a touchdown in the area just after 5:30 p.m. First responders searched through the rubble overnight, according to a statement from Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald. All other residents of the mobile home park are accounted for.
