National Weather Service confirms 4 EF-0 tornadoes in the Milwaukee area

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- We're getting a closer look tonight at the tornado outbreak that blew through Southeast Wisconsin yesterday, on Oct. 12.

The National Weather Service now confirms four EF-0 tornadoes touched down around the area.

That includes the first confirmed tornado in Milwaukee County in over two decades.

It left its mark in West Allis with winds up to 75 miles an hor.

A homeowner near 72nd and Hayes was left with quite a mess to clean up -- including tree and fence damage.

He says he's just grateful his family is ok, and his house wasn't damaged.

"My pets, my family, they are my family, right? That's the important thing," said Sean Stephenson of West Allis. "This is all insured. At the end of the day, it can all be replaced."

Neighbors did help with the cleanup, as well as West Allis city workers.
