## Resource

A powerful tornado ripped through Wisconsin Monday, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake—homes splintered, trees uprooted, and thousands without power. Video captured twisted metal, flipped cars, and streets choked with debris, with one warehouse nearly obliterated. The National Weather Service confirmed widespread structural damage across southern Outagamie and eastern Winnebago Counties, though no injuries were reported. The twister touched down around 12:25 PM near Lake Winnebago, following a severe thunderstorm warning. Social media flooded with images of devastation in Appleton, while police urged residents to stay indoors and avoid downed power lines. Officials are still assessing the full scope, but early reports point to catastrophic damage—with some buildings collapsed—and more severe weather, including possible additional tornadoes, is expected later Monday.
