Insurance Commissioner Ted Nickel is urging Wisconsin residents to be prepared for the severe weather season during Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Week, April 21-25, 2014.
Wisconsin had 16 reported tornadoes in 2013 according to the statistics kept by the National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office. The most active months were July and August with 13 tornadoes in those two months.
