A fast moving tornado touched down in the southwest side of Kaukauna near County Road CE at 8:43 pm CDT (1743 CST). The tornado cut through the center of a subdivision as it moved north-northeast to near the Fox River before lifting off the ground. Seven homes were destroyed, 24 homes and four businesses sustained major damage, and 160 other homes sustained minor damage. Several houses lost large sections of their roofs (DI 2, DOD 6) in the hardest hit area of the city. The average path width was 125 yards.
Heavy rain fell across the Fox Valley, causing flash flooding near Kaukauna. Nearby Darboy measured 3.50 inches of rain during the morning storms. Kankapot Creek in Kaukauna flooded Highway KK, which was closed for some time. Wisconsin International Raceway, which was hosting a Pyrotechnics Guild International event, had to be evacuated due to the flood.
A tornado formed at 8:58 pm CDT southwest of the village of Kaukauna in southeastern Outagamie County and continued northeast before dissipating at 9:02 pm CDT in Central Park on the Fox River. Total path length is estimated to be 2.69 miles long, with a width of 80 yards. Peak wind estimated to be around 100 mph.
