Communities across Wisconsin's Fox Valley are beginning the recovery process after a powerful tornado tore through Appleton, Menasha and Neenah on Monday, 27 July, damaging homes and businesses, toppling power lines and leaving thousands of residents without electricity.
The National Weather Service (NWS) said preliminary storm surveys indicate the tornado caused EF-3 damage in the Appleton and Menasha areas, upgrading an earlier local assessment that suggested an EF-2 tornado.
