Tornado Archive
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has been tracking tornadoes for decades. This interactive map, which contains data from January 1950 to March 31, 2024, pinpoints where a cyclone touched down and traces its path of destruction. For more recent tornadoes, clicking deeper provides more details, damage estimates and whether someone was injured or killed in the storm.

| A long-tracked, partially rain-wrapped, tornado traveled through mostly rural areas of Columbia County and affected only a small portion of one village; otherwise property damage would have been more extensive. This tornado spun up about 2.75 miles east of Dekorra, just northwest of the intersection of STH 51 and CTH VJ, near Columbia Lake. It then tracked east-northeast through the far southeast reaches of the village of Wyocena, and crossed STH 22 just north of Patchin Road. It then moved through the intersection of CTH G and W. Hill Road, where the last structural damage to a couple barns and home occurred. Thereafter, this tornado tracked more northeast through rural areas (crossing STH 33 midway between Cunningham Road and Englehart Road), and eventually exited Columbia County just east of North County Line Road and Sterk Road. It continued for a few more miles through southeastern Green Lake County. Based on ground damage evidence, this tornado briefly lifted a couple times when it was north of STH 33. Most of the structural damage occurred south and southeast of Wyocena. Otherwise the rural damage consisted of uprooted trees or broken branches. At least two trained spotters video taped the tornado.||The Columbia County Emergency Management situation report indicated that 4 residential homes sustained minor damage, and 1 home suffered major damage. Additionally, 2 farm buildings had minor damage, 2 suffered major damage, and 3 were destroyed. The report estimated that private sector damage totaled about $550,000 (excluding electrical line damage). Public sector debris clearance totaled $3500, and protective measures totaled $1000. The Sheriff's Office had to close down 4 roads until power lines and trees could be cleared. Electrical line replacement is estimated at about $50,000. The lat-long pairs of numbers for this tornado segment in Columbia County include: N43.46179/W89.41637, N43.49223/W89.27809, N43.54813/W89.18491, and N43.63221/W89.06693. On the EF-scale, DI #1 (SBO) was used with a DOD of 6, for an EF-rating of EF1 and an wind estimate of about 100 mph (87 knots). | |||||||

| This brief tornado spun up about 3.85 miles west-southwest of the village of Wyocena just east of the intersection of Dunning Road and Patchin Road. It was captured in a video tape. Only some damage to tree branches was noted. The starting and ending lat-lon numbers are N43.47857/W89.37096 and N43.48060/w89.36700. On the EF-Scale, this tornado was given a rating of EF0, based on DI #27 (TH), DOD2. | |||||||

| Lightning struck the steeple of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Portage, resulting in a fire. The event time is estimated, and the actual time could have been up to an hour or two earlier since other storms visited the area prior to 1630 CST. | |||||||

| This tornado segment is a continuation of a long-tracked tornado that spun up east of Dekorra in Columbia County and affected the Wyocena area. It entered Green Lake County at the intersection of North County Line Road and Proscarian Road (3.78 miles south-southwest of Manchester) and tracked northeast to a point 1.85 miles southeast of Markesan on the Grand River near the southwestern intersection of CTH A and CTH S. In Green Lake County, this tornado affected only rural areas, and only intermitent tree branch damage was noted in a NWS storm survey. The beginning and ending lat-lon numbers for this tornado segment in Green Lake County were N43.63221/W89.06693 and N43.69813/W88.95858. This segment was rated EF0 on the EF-Scale, based on a DI #27, DOD2, with winds of 65 mph (58 knots). | |||||||

*** Enhanced Fujita Scale describes the strength of the tornado based on the amount and type of damage caused by the tornado. The F-scale of damage will vary in the destruction area; therefore, the highest value of the F-scale is recorded for each event. EF0 – Light Damage (40 – 72 mph), EF1 – Moderate Damage (73 – 112 mph), EF2 – Significant damage (113 – 157 mph), EF3 – Severe Damage (158 – 206 mph), EF4 – Devastating Damage (207 – 260 mph), EF5 – Incredible Damage (261 – 318 mph)
