Egan shared a few photos with me from the Union Center, Wisconsin tornado earlier today. I will not share them here, but here are some observations I made. Information on this home: N1503 Raese Rd, Elroy, WI - Single-story residence with a walkout basement (effectively two stories) - Constructed in 2000 - Structure largely destroyed; most debris swept from the foundation - Some subflooring and floor joists remain on foundation - Majority of the home is gone - Foundation appears to be secured with concrete nails, suggesting lower-end anchoring/construction quality - The damage in my perspective supports at least a mid- to high-end EF3 rating (150-165 mph), though, this is up to the National Weather Service in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Thankful the homeowners weren't there, it was pretty gnarly.
