todayApril 9, 2018

This is tornado and severe weather awareness week in Wisconsin.  Residents are encouraged to test their emergency plans during statewide tornado drills this Thursday.  National Weather Service meteorologist Sean Miller says a mock tornado watch will be issued at 1pm followed by a mock warning at 1:45pm.   Another mock tornado warning will be held at 6:45pm.  Miller says fortunately most of the 23 tornado touchdowns in the state last year were  less powerful  EFO or EF1 tornadoes.    An EF3 tornado was recorded on May 16 last year.  There was an outbreak of  10 tornadoes on June 14, across Shawano, Winnebago, Outagamie, Brown and Waushara counties.
