A powerful tornado touched down in northeastern Wisconsin on Monday, remaining on the ground for more than 20 minutes as it carved a destructive path across the region [1]. The twister traveled approximately 12 miles, with a width approaching 1 mile, leaving widespread damage in its wake [1].
The tornado destroyed numerous homes and buildings, overturned vehicles, and toppled power lines throughout the Fox Cities area, which includes Appleton, Menasha, and Neenah [1]. Preliminary data classified the tornado as an EF3 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, with wind speeds between 136 and 165 miles per hour [1]. More than 15,000 customers lost power in the region [1]. No deaths or missing persons have been reported so far [1].
County Executive Gordon Hintz described the impact, stating that "the depth and reach of the tornado is incredible and destructive" [1]. National Weather Service meteorologist Roy Eckberg noted that such a tornado is relatively uncommon in northeastern Wisconsin, remarking that "getting a tornado of this magnitude in northeastern Wisconsin is quite rare, but it does happen from time to time" [1].
