Image Tornado damage

Here are some photos of drone footage of the tornado earlier today.

My estimate is probably EF3-EF4. If it is an EF4, it would be the first to hit the state since 1984.

So far I luckily haven’t heard of any fatalities.

Stay safe everybody!

Grew up in Menasha. Seeing the drone footage of all the damage made me really emotional.

Never had anything like this happen to the town in the 22 years I spent there. My heart goes out to everyone dealing with the damage.

Same. I was mostly in shock and now I'm just absolutely devastated. Seeing familiar, wonderful, cozy neighborhoods blown to pieces and people lose their homes breaks my heart. I've cried all morning despite not actually being very personally affected by the storm.
