Dashcam captures tornado toppling power lines onto car

Video obtained by the BBC provides a firsthand look at the powerful storm system that ripped through parts of eastern Wisconsin on 27 July.

A tornado can strike with only minutes of warning. Mobile homes, vehicles, and rooms with exterior walls offer the least protection.

This report is based on information from BBC US & Canada, monitored by Alert USA's verified emergency feed.

The greatest local impacts are an elevated risk to property and a high chance of power outages, with moderate travel disruptions expected as conditions move through the area.

Recommended steps: move to the lowest interior room, away from windows; cover your head and neck; stay sheltered until the warning expires; avoid mobile homes and vehicles during the warning.

Alert USA is tracking this tornado and will update this report as verified information becomes available.
