| episode_narrative | Thunderstorms packing destructive winds, large hail, heavy rainfall, and lightning strikes pummelled southern Wisconsin in the afternoon and nightime hours. The extreme southeast corner of Iowa County just west and north of Blanchardville experienced damaging winds. Three farms had significant damage. Altogether, 2 barns were destroyed, and one damaged. In addition, a corn crib, machine shed, and mechanical equipment were damaged. One of the farm's home sustained extensive damage after a large tree crashed through it. Eight calves were crushed in one of the destroyed barns, along with some hay crop. About 150 large trees were flattened. The severe storms continued southeast through Green county in the afternoon. About 100 livestock injuries/deaths occurred in Green County when 3 barns were destroyed by the powerful winds near Albany and a family of 3 were trapped in their vehicle due to fallen power line poles. 1.15 inches of rain fell in 15 minutes near New Glarus. The heavy rains resulted in urban/small stream flooding in and around Monticello (Green Co.). Water levels on some roads reach 6 to 12 inches. In neighbouring Lafayette county three-quarter inch hail was observed at Blanchardville and in southwest Rock county 3 farms sustained extensive damage to several buildings. A barn was downed west of Beloit and a few corn fields were flattened. Lightning struck a residential home in Rock county, destroying the garage and contents and causing heat/smoke damage to the home.
