| August 2013 | Tornado (EF1) | Rosecrans | $100,000 | The tornado that initially formed in Outagamie County 2.7 miles east-northeast of Mackville at 12:40 am CDT, and moved across Brown County and the Fox Valley, entered Manitowoc County about 4.1 miles northwest of Rosecrans at 1:01 am CDT. The tornado damaged several outbuildings (DI 1, DOD 3; DI 1, DOD 4) and damaged the roof of a barn (DI 1, DOD 2). A 110 year old stone structure at the Maribel Caves County Park was knocked over by the strong winds. Hundreds of trees were damaged or uprooted along the path of the tornado (DI 27, DOD 2 and 3; DI 28, DOD 3 and 4). The damage survey revealed the tornado ended a couple miles east of Maribel, but straight-line wind damage continued into the eastern part of the county. The average path width of the tornado in Manitowoc County was 125 yards. |
