The local Catholic church lost a portion of its roof, resulting in damage estimated at $300,000. There was an unverified report of a private weather system clocking the wind at 99 mph before it became inoperable. At the Apostle Island Marina numerous boats lost their canvas coverings. Many boats lost their stanchions after being tipped under the docks by the strong winds. Damage estimates at the marina ranged from $25,000 to $30,000. Trees were reported down all across northern Douglas County.
Major wind damage to docks and a few boats occurred at two marinas. Many docks were destroyed. One 40 foot boat was destroyed. There was also three-quarter inch hail and some downed trees.
The concession tent at the Big Top Chautauqua outdoor performance area was blown down. The main tent received hail and water damage. Shows at the tent were cancelled for three days. Hail size is unknown.
