Hardest hit was Walworth county were a barn was blown off it's foundation near Sharon (Walworth Co) and another out-building damaged. Several other homes around the county experienced expensive lightning damage due to fires. The 911 center in Elkhorn (Walworth Co) was temporarily disabled when lightning destroyed the communications center, forcing the use of a backup system. In addition, lightning struck and injured a woman in Elkhorn as the storms rolled through that city. Heavy rains of 3 to 4 inches caused urban street flooding on the west side of Monroe in Green county with other incidences of urban flooding reported in Racine and Kenosha counties. In the city of Racine (Racine Co), 1.14 inches fell in 30 minutes, while west of New Munster (Kenosha Co), 3.75 inches fell in 3 hours, and resulting in street flooding around New Munster to Twin Lakes (Kenosha Co).

About 61000 square feet of the 10 acre roof was damaged.
