We had a bit of a scary evening lastnight. We were hit with a huge storm that produced at least one confirmed torado in Wisconsin. This tornado actually destroyed many homes. There has never been on record in Wisconsin a tornado that produced damage. It was pretty scary. We had to go in the basement twice. After the first one the news casters were saying they felt the worst was over, but some more cells fired up about an hour later and we had to go back into the basement. Charlie just happened to be on his way home when the second round of sirens went off. The second cells were closer to us than the first, but I don't think an actual tornado was produced that time.

So Charlie and I were wondering lastnight... they have this totally abnormal storm in the beginning of January that actually produced a tornado(s) and they've also had record breaking snow fall accumulations for the month of December here, at least 20 inches worth to our knowledge all since we moved here. Is this a sign or what?!?!?!? What a welcome!

Here are some pictures sent into a local news station from viewers and a map to show you where the touch down occured in comparison with us.
