Kenosha, WI Tornado in January '08

[irishdancersami]

@appies34 Kenosha is a great town! There are a lot of children, so there's no need to worry about loneliness ;) Kenosha is at a greater risk of Tornadoes, but that's only because we live on the coast of Lake Michigan. Racine is just north of Kenosha, and it's a nice town as well.

Kenisha is not a bad city at all!  When this tornado hit i was in band class and had to evacuate i thought it was a joke cause usually i dont think of a tornado hitting in the middle of january but it did SCARY

[appies34]

Is Kenosha a bad town? If so, what's bad about it? Are there other nice towns in the surrounding area for a family with small children? :)

[appies34]

I'm going to be moving to the area in 2011. Are tornadoes common in Kenosha?

[mbyr31]

@appies34 No. Especially in January they are not. Blizzards, not tornadoes! LOL! A couple miles east of this location that same day, a small town was destroyed!

[scottsdalepilot3]

@appies34 tornadoes just nearly had 1 today but not overly common. You have much bigger worries concerning that town haha.

I live on the northside of Kenosha and the tornado touched down about a half mile from my home. It was extremely odd to have 65+ temperatures a tornadoes in January, the funny thing about it was temps dropped back into the 20's and a foot of snow fell a few days later........damn Wisconsin weather...lol

@kenosha2007 We live in wisconsin too....the weather is so wierd!

[electroangelove]

I live in Kenosha, but I was in the fucking basement. I don't want to risk getting killed my a god forbid tornado, yikes!

[charby09]

[theXmagsta57]

This was the freakiest storm i've ever lived through. Especially when damage was less than a mile away from my house, in Wheatland. Weirdest day in January for sure.

[amandaluvgymnastics]

wow, that sky is really green

[twcman05]

Ahh... I love those ACA/ASC P-50s/Tempest 135's :)

[pokemon4149]

while i was alive there was only one green sky it scared the crap outa me

[dragonridley]

While you were alive? So you weren't when you typed that comment?

[sfs2040]

We have that siren sound near my house. The siren is barely half a mile away.

[sfs2040]

You misunderstood me. What I meant was is that I live near a siren of the same type. You know, the one by Bullen.

[billybassman21]

The sky is green from the light shining through the hail in the t-storm. A green sky means things are going to (or are) get bad for someone.

[muskietips]

There was no hail with this storm.

[coreeniebeanie]

this whole thing scared the shit out of me. i was sittin in my living room when i heard the hail hitting my house. so i grabbed my pets and ran into the basement. i never thought there was gonna be tornadoes in Kenosha.

[Cenvere]

This was a first for me. I can confirm though that 2-3 tornadoes were reported, I caught on on film, well, my father did.

[HystoricalMicrobe]

was thatat night or during the day?

[RainJetSprinklers]

Nice green sky (it may be bluish but i'm color blind)

[sfs2040]

Nah, it's green.

[bigchevy80]

I was driving a semi from Chicago back to Bloomington that night when the tornadoes rolled through.  If I didn't have weight in the trailer my truck surely would have blown over. That was an interesting night for sure.

[wesbizket2002]

thoes sirens are t-135 sirens

[HickoryThornwood]

[mrSarcastic1984]

[CoolBalla15]

Sounds like T-135s. And that storm must've been bad. Were you guys okay?
