| Damage from a rare tornado in Northern Illinois |
A rare sight in Southern Wisconsin on Monday as a tornado tore through Union Grove in Racine county and well as another county in Northern Illinois. The tornado in Walworth County in Illinois was reported to be an EF-1 by the National Weather Service and it traveled 4 miles during which it damaged four homes and several farms. In Racine County, semis were blown on their sides and 3,000 or more people were without power until Tuesday morning. In Illinois several children and a school bus driver suffered minor injuries after the school bus they were in was blows over in the storm. The storms hit 12 transformers in the effected area and left thousands without power in the cold weather of November, and in the small city of Caledonia where much of the damage was centered people didn't have a place to go for safety as the town hall was destroyed as well. I could hardly believe this story when I saw it on the web, shouldn't it be snowing and what caused the strange November storm? You also have to think that warnings were maybe not taken as seriously by people as many don't expect a tornado in Illinois and Wisconsin in November.
