TL;DR Summary

Unprecedented tornadoes hit Wisconsin in February as record warmth led to severe storms, causing destruction in rural areas with dead and missing cows, damaged buildings, and uprooted trees. The storms, including a high-end F2 tornado, were unusual for the time of year, with experts attributing the event to a combination of warming temperatures and increased moisture. While the stronger El Nino this year may have contributed to the warmth, the role of climate change in such severe events remains a topic of discussion.
