Tornadoes around the World

It’s Never Happened in Wisconsin’s Recorded History Until Today

It was a historic weather day in the Stateline area with record-warm weather and severe weather moving through the area.

We're not even halfway through February and temperatures feel like spring, but that also brings dangerous weather that broke out in northern Illinois and southeastern Wisconsin today.

Several videos have surfaced that show a distinct funnel cloud forming near Evansville, Wisconsin.

Reports that more than 1,000 people are without power and some of the major roads in the area are blocked including US Highway 14 highway closed "between County Road M and County Road H due to debris blocking the road," according to Channel3000.

Indonesia investigates after first large-scale tornado strikes​


Indonesia was struck by a tornado of a scale previously unrecorded in the country that injured at least 33 people and damaged buildings, government officials said.

After the violent wind swept the town of Sumedang in West Java province on Wednesday, a climatologist at government research body BRIN Erma Yulihastin, said the agency would "reconstruct and investigate the tornado".

In a post on social media app X, formerly known as Twitter, she said it was similar to the kind of violent winds that often occur in the northern hemisphere. Until now, only smaller tornadoes, known as "angin puting beliung" have been recorded in Indonesia.

Kay Tiara, a Sumedang resident, told Reuters she had felt panic as the winds approached.

Despite reports of three deaths in the eastern Indiana town, state police said they can not confirm any deaths as of Friday 12:15 am EDT.
