@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

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

@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!

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

That's why I hated living in Woodcreek, because there are no basements in those apartments.

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
