At 11:50 a.m. local time Wednesday, severe thunderstorms tracking toward Lake Michigan spun up a likely tornado in Merton, Wisconsin, roughly 30 miles west of Milwaukee. Reports of damage from the suspected Merton tornado were released quickly after the event, with a note that debris fell on cars near local Highway 16 and Highway 83.
