Storms can develop quickly in Wisconsin and knowing what to do when a severe weather warning is issued can help keep you and others safe. This week is Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Week. ReadyWisconsin’s Andrew Beckett says Wisconsin made history this year when two tornadoes touched down in early February, which were the first confirmed tornadoes in the state that month since record keeping began. Beckett says Wisconsin averages nearly two dozen tornadoes every year. Wisconsin’s annual tornado drills will be held Thursday at 1:45pm and 6:45pm offering an opportunity to practice your tornado sheltering plans.
