On Monday, a tornado of rare ferocity descended on central Wisconsin, driving winds of 140 miles per hour across a twelve-mile corridor and reducing trees, power lines, and vehicles to wreckage. It is the kind of event that reminds us how briefly the structures of ordinary life hold against the deeper forces of the natural world. In its wake, communities now face the slower, quieter labor of recovery — the restoration not just of power and roads, but of the sense that the familiar landscape can be trusted again.
