SHAWANO COUNTY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A tornado was reported to have touched down just after 6 p.m. near Navarino Wednesday evening.
In the Town of Maple Grove, a massive chunk of metal was sitting in a yard. It appeared to come from a grain bin, likely about 100 or 200 yards away, at the farm across the street.
FOX 11 found other damage earlier in the evening in the town of Lessor, which is also in Shawano County.
Hylock Hillside Farms suffered damage with the roof torn off of a barn. A power pole also appeared to lift out of the ground, causing power lines to come down.
“It wasn’t that bad at first,” said Bruce Hylock. “But then when the wind picked back up, I was over by my mother and said it’s time to go into the basement. Cause we could see the trees bending right over. And, so I spent the majority of the storm down with her. And the neighbor texted me. And he was here and said that my barn roof was on the road. So we started pulling that off the road. One of my wagons hit a power pole and snapped the power pole line off. And it moved the power pole line off a good 3-to-4 inches. So, that was a pretty strong storm.”
In the Navarino Wildlife area FOX 11 found trees blocking roads and also debris making it difficult to maneuver.
