Cleanup Begins After Savage Storm Ravages Farms
A Wisconsin county reels from a tornado that touched down near Monroe, killing cattle and destroying barns, homes, and sheds on Green and Lafayette county farms. Civil Defense and Red Cross volunteers organize relief while fire departments clear debris and restore roads. One injured resident is hospitalized as crews evacuate properties and assess damages across Browntown and surrounding farms.
