New Richmond, Wisconsin
On a hot afternoon in June, Wisconsin was struck by a tornado that killed 117 people, making it the 9th deadliest tornado in U.S history. There was rise of people in the area as the circus was town and many victims were unsuspecting visitors who were leaving the circus to go back home. The tornado itself was not that large in the grand scheme of things, but the tragic timing inflated the death toll numbers much more than it would've been. https://www.weather.gov/mkx/0612-1899-newrichmond-tornado -
Flint, Michigan

In late August, 8,000 volunteers participated in a weekend project known as "Operation Tornado" put in 80,000 hours of work and built 193 houses as apart of the recovery process
