MADISON, Wis. (AP) — An unusual October tornado has downed power lines and destroyed garages on Madison’s east side, but no injuries are reported. The National Weather Service confirms that a weak tornado swept northeast along East Washington Avenue to Interstate 39/90 Saturday evening. The weather service says a preliminary damage assessment indicates it was an EF-zero tornado with winds of 70-80 mph. Wind shear and instability caused many showers to rotate, resulting in the tornado.
