NOAA recorded where this tornado touched down but not where it lifted, so it appears as a point. Other tornadoes recorded nearby that day are shown faint.

What F0 means. This tornado was rated on Fujita’s original scale, used until 2007. F0 meant light damage: shingles and siding peeled, gutters torn, branches broken; the scale paired it with winds of 40–72 mph, figures later judged too high, especially toward the top of the scale, and revised downward in the Enhanced Fujita scale. Ratings then, as now, came from the damage.

The wider storm

Thunderstorms became severe across central and east central Wisconsin from early afternoon to early in the evening ahead of a front that lifted north into the area. Penny to nickel size hail fell throughout Marathon county. In Wausau (Marathon co.), penny size hail covered the ground and heavy rain caused some street flooding. High winds downed trees 10 miles north of Stevens Point (Portage co.), a funnel cloud was spotted at Custer (Portage co.). A waterspout touched down, and remained nearly stationary, for about a minute in eastern Lake Winnebago (Calumet co.). A tree that was struck by lightning downed power lines in Scandinavia (Waupaca co.).

Began near Sherwood (44.1833, -88.3500).
