On July 27, a violent tornado tore through eastern Wisconsin, snapping power lines that were then flung onto a passing car, a scene captured by a dash‑cam in real time.
The storm left several buildings damaged, isolated dozens of households, and threatened the stability of the grid. Despite the chaos, authorities confirmed that there were no fatalities or serious injuries.
BBC footage of the incident shows the power lines snaking through the air before dropping into the vehicle, a dramatic testament to the tornado’s wind forces combined with the car’s motion.
Weather scientists warn that such violent tornadoes could become more common as climate change intensifies severe storms, urging caution and preparedness for residents across the state.
