A destructive tornado in northeastern Wisconsin remains on the ground for more than 20 minutes, according to authorities and preliminary weather data cited by multiple outlets. The National Weather Service reports the tornado tears a 12-mile path of destruction. During that time, the storm causes damage across the area, including hollowing out homes, tossing around cars, and toppling power lines. The tornado is described as being produced by a larger storm system moving through the Great Lakes, with the event linked to heat and humidity building in the region. Outlets also characterize the tornado’s length of impact as extending beyond 20 minutes, indicating sustained ground contact rather than a brief touchdown. The reports focus on the tornado’s trajectory and duration and on the physical damage observed afterward, while not detailing injuries, recovery timelines, or specific locations beyond northeastern Wisconsin. The accounts are consistent on the key points that the tornado stays on the ground for more than 20 minutes and travels roughly 12 miles as it damages homes and infrastructure.
