A strong cold front punched across Wisconsin and affected western and southern counties with numerous severe storms. Some of the storms had torrential rains that left underpasses flooded. A vacant mobile home near Viroqua (Vernon County) was completely destroyed by a downburst. Severe storm winds pushed over large trees in Viroqua and Hillsboro (Vernon County). Dane County was hard hit and sustained about $75,000 in damage to power lines, trees, buildings, and crops. In the Mt. Horeb area (Dane County) a roof was torn off a building, farm equipment overturned, large trees were toppled, and roof shingles and siding on a home were damaged. The area around the Village of Dane (Dane County) also had some roof damage and downed power lines. Two cars were severely damaged in Oregon (Dane County) as large trees fell on them. Locations south of Oregon also had strong winds knock over large trees. The brutal storms packed spotter estimated winds to 70 mph as they rolled through Rock County. A toppled 60-foot tall tree damaged one corner of a Janesville (Rock County) home. Otherwise the storms blew down large trees that did some minor car damage in Evansville (Rock County), tangled power lines, and flipped two small planes on their sides at the Rock County Airport. Over the remainder of southern Wisconsin the severe storms generated powerful winds which blew down large trees in Norwalk (Monroe County); northeast of Eastman (Crawford County); in La Valle, Lake Delton, and Badger (Sauk County); in Richland Center (Richland County); in Castle Rock, Mount Hope, and Fennimore (Grant County); in Ridgeway (Iowa County); southwest of Brooklyn (Green County); in Lake Geneva and Delavan (Walworth County); in Burlington (Racine County); and in the city of Kenosha (Kenosha County). In all, about 17,000 Wisconsin electrical customers lost power for at least a short period of time.
