Some power lines were also pulled down by the broken limbs. In Shullsburg, (Lafayette Co) a 20 by 40 foot building caved in and a small shed was destroyed. A chicken house was blown down near Monticello in Green county. About 11000 customers lost power due to the downed power lines or other lightning strikes.
