| episode_narrative | Scattered, early morning severe thunderstorms, packing damaging downburst winds, and many lightning strikes, moved through southeast Wisconsin. Estimated winds gusts around 52 knots (60 mph) toppled large trees or broke off many large tree limbs in the Waupun area (Fond du Lac), the central part of Dodge County from Juneau to Mayville, and in the West Bend area (Washington Co.). Lightning strikes damaged 5 power stations in the Waupun area, and started a fire that completely burned a barn near Farmersville (Dodge Co.). Brief, heavy rains accompanied the storms, resulting in urban/small stream flooding in and around Juneau (Dodge Co.). The Emergency Management of Dodge County reported 2.50 inches of rain at Juneau with many area roads under 1/2 to 1 foot of water. Visibility during the heavy rains was as low as 50 yards. In addition, small hail (1/4 inch in diameter) was reported around Juneau, as well as in Milwaukee County. Several lightning strikes around West Bend (Washington Co.) and Port Washington (Ozaukee Co.), knocked out power lines and/or transformers, resulting in 2000 customers in those cities losing electrical power. One lightning bolt struck a West Bend home, starting a self-extinguishing fire that left about $1200 in damage. In addition, 2.5 to 3.0 inches of rain fell in the West Bend area during the pre-dawn hours, leading to urban flooding in that city. West Bend residents said the streets looked like "waterfalls." |
