What happened
The episode as NWS ARX wrote it up.
A tornado touched down at the intersection of County Road T and Levi Road about 2 miles southeast of Norwalk (Monroe County).A large machine shed was demolished on the south side of Levi Road, while the house on the north side was untouched. Some lawn furniture was pulled into the tornado, but a nearby camper was left untouched. At the next residence, a large barn and smaller shed were both demolished. Several windows on the west and south side of the house were broken and an air conditioner was blown into the house. The roof of the house was lifted along the west side approximately 3 inches, which allowed wind to enter the house and blow insulation out of the ceiling. Two adults sleeping upstairs were blown against the east wall, but were not injured. Elsewhere across west central Wisconsin, law enforcement officials reported dime to nickel hail as well as power lines and trees downed.
