Deaths, Injuries from Severe Weather in SE Wisconsin
The National Weather Service provides information about the number of severe weather events, and related deaths or injuries since 1982.
Summer in Wisconsin means time for enjoying warm weather that, for so many months of the year, doesn't ever pop up in local forecasts.
But it also means a higher chance of certain types of severe weather, including tornadoes, lightning, flooding and heat waves — all of which can bring serious dangers.
Deaths by counties during these weather events range from 0 in Ozaukee County to 7 in Racine County. The graph above details this data for Ozaukee County, provided by the National Weather Service.
