NWS confirms August 9th tornado through Peninsula State Park

The National Weather Service says a tornado is potentially to blame for knocking out the power and causing damage to your home earlier this month. The Door County Emergency Management Department shared details from the National Weather Service’s discovery on Wednesday. The agency says an EF 0 Tornado touched down in Peninsula State Park, causing significant damage to trees and power lines. Carrying peak speeds of 73 miles per hour, the tornado later moved across Eagle Harbor as a waterspout.

The declaration comes as locals remembered the 27th anniversary of an EF-3 tornado that struck the region with winds nearing 160 miles per hour and caused significant damage, but luckily, no deaths and only two injuries.
