From jsonline.com on the storm last night:
At the Stoughton Country Club, the roof was sucked off the building. Lenny Peaslee, head chef, crouched behind the bar in the basement, where about 40 people waited out the storm.
"We saw stuff flying and basically buried our heads," said Peaslee, who was cooking steaks when somebody shouted to get in the basement. He said some guys grabbed their beers as they raced down the stairs.
"They thought it might be their last one," he said. "They wanted to have one in hand."
Yep, that's Wisconsin all right. The tornado lifted up debris from near Madison and dropped it down in the Milwaukee area, a distance of about 80 miles. I remember hearing that the 1967 Belvidere tornado also dropped debris in the Milwaukee area as well.
First time I've ever seen mammatus clouds in my life.
