April 4, 1981, West Bend tornado

The April 4, 1981, West Bend tornado was a fatal F4, anticyclonic tornado that struck the Wisconsin city of West Bend in the early morning hours of April 4, 1981. It killed 3 people, and injured another 53. The tornado was largely unexpected and the storm that produced it did not display features of a typical severe storm. Because of this the National Weather Service issued only a Severe Thunderstorm Warning prior to the West Bend Tornado, causing local law enforcement to not sound the tornado sirens in time.
==Meteorological synopsis==
During the early morning on April 4, 1981 meteorological conditions in Wisconsin were conducive for severe weather. At around 12:00am CST (0600 GMT) a thunderstorm developed and rapidly began to grow over south central Wisconsin.〔 The growing storm caused a downburst near the village of Clyman and then continued on towards West Bend.〔 The storm however did not appear to be severe, thunderstorm tops were measured to only be and a weak level 3 bow echo was observed by a radar in Neenah.〔 Only a few minutes after midnight (local time) while the storm was weakening the tornado touched down.〔 The tornado was extremely narrow, but it still managed to produce F3 and F4 damage only a few seconds after touching down.〔 It cut a swath of destruction through the city, killing several and injuring many more.〔 Post storm analysis determined that not only was the tornado an extremely rare occurrence given the storm's strength, but also that it was an anticyclonic tornado. The F4 tornado is one of the strongest anticyclonic tornadoes on record.〔
