Tara_Hastings Beyond the Forecast

The year is half over and Wisconsin has recorded 25 tornadoes, that's more than the yearly average of 21.  2008 started off a little strange with two tornado touchdowns in January...that's only happened one other time January.  The two twisters hit Kenosha County and one of them was a strong one rated EF 3 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.  June was a big month.  On the 7th, 12 tornadoes touched down and another 8 hit on the 12th.  That brings June's total to 20. June 2008 is the third most active June in weather history.  June 2005 had 30 tornadoes and June 1993 had 28.
