EF1 tornado in Juneau County, Wisconsin

A National Weather Service storm survey team confirmed an EF1 tornado south of Necedah. The tornado first touched down near the intersection of Paradise Lane and 25th Street and produced EF0 damage. The tornado briefly produced EF1 damage for about three fourths of a mile from T Lane through Padre Pio Drive. A mobile home was rolled over and pine trees were snapped. The tornado continued east-northeast and produced EF0 damage to pine trees around County Road G before ending near the Wisconsin River.

A cold front pushed east into Wisconsin during the late afternoon and evening hours of April 10th. Severe thunderstorms developed along the cold front and produced very large hail and three tornadoes over portions of western and central Wisconsin. The hail ranged from quarter to tennis ball size and caused extensive damage to siding and cars in the southern portions of the city of La Crosse (La Crosse County). Although difficult to estimate, damage estimates from insurance companies and contractors in the area were between 20 and 30 million dollars from the one hail storm. National Weather Service storm survey teams confirmed two EF1 tornadoes and an EF2 tornado in Juneau and Adams counties. The tornadoes uprooted trees, knocked power lines down, flipped automobiles, and damaged or destroyed homes and businesses. In Adams County, 7 homes and 3 businesses were destroyed and damage assessments exceeded three and a half million dollars.
