Scattered short lines of severe storms quickly moved northeast through south-central and southeast Wisconsin. As usual, the powerful winds in these severe storms downed many large trees, or directly damaged buildings. The Village of Walworth (Walworth County) was hit by a savage wet microburst whose violent winds and golf ball-size hail resulted in considerable property damage estimated at $40,000. Just south of Walworth a large barn had rood damage and was rotated off its foundation. A roof was torn off a Walworth home and some of its debris was carried north only to damage another homes siding and a nearby power line. Elsewhere in the Village of Walworth there was damage to sheds, fences, power poles, roofs, antennas, and flag poles. Lightning struck and injured a 60-year-old man at a Williams Bay (Walworth County) Marina. He was given CPR, treated at a local hospital, and was released. Powerful winds blew southwest of Beaver Dam (Dodge County), resulting in $20,000 in damage to power lines, large trees, skirting on nine mobile homes, and a porch on a home. Lightning struck a home in Franklin (Milwaukee County) and started a fire which did about $8,000 in damage to the roof and attic. The lightning strikes in Racine County only did minor damage to roofs on a couple homes. Elsewhere, the powerful winds generated by the severe storms also knocked down many large trees in Waterford (Racine County); Waupan and Fond cu Lac (Fond du Lac County); and near Stoughton (Dane County).
