I have pics..

NWS confirmed an EF-0 http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cms...

certainly don't see a tornado in that picture.

there is a pic of the storm on the jefferson county daily union webpage.

I was in at Blackhawk campgrounds during the storm. I was over on the North east side of Mud lake, the winds pick up and debris started whipping. I got back to my place and the wind was very strong, so bad at the time I couldn't get out of my golf cart. After it let up, I got inside, then WJVL was giving the report of the funnel cloud. The rain & wind picked up again, yet not as bad. When it was all done, I went to see if there was any damage on the grounds, a lot of branches, stuff blown over,the worst was a park model on the south side of the lake that had a metal awning ripped off and flew over the top, No injuries.

brewersfan - yes, I have an extensive background in atmospheric science. truth - I wonder why no one has pictures as well. With all the people on the lake and on the river you would think someone would have a camera with them. It makes me question the tornado reports, but there's still a chance something happened.

You would think that someone had pictures

hey mrscott im just wondering if your an atmospheric science major or in the process of completing your degree i am majoring in the same field....and i agree moreso with your theory of a landspout just because of the conditions at the time were not favorable for supercells to form

I live out here in the township of center off cty H and there wasn't a cloud in the sky the kids were still in the pool at that time...Weird.

Interesting situation with the possible tornado last tonight. Though the atmosphere wasn't anywhere near primed for mesocyclone or supercell (rotating) induced tornadoes, I peeked back at mesoanalysis observations from last evening and it appears that the possible tornado near Milton may have been a non-supercell tornado (if a tornado occurred at all), i.e. a landspout. Landspouts are different than supercell tornadoes because they are not produced by rotating thunderstorms but rather existing surface vorticity along a boundary which is then "stretched" into the storm. Around 8pm, the 0-3 km CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy) was roughly 75 j/kg in S/SE Wisconsin with a weak sfc boudary stretching across Rock County. 0-3 km AOA 75 j/kg is conducive for tornadoes in supercell thunderstorms, but can also be conducive for non-supercell tornadoes in situations with existing surface vorticity. In a nutshell - there's a chance the tornado reports near Milton were legitimate, but was likely not caused by a supercell thunderstorm.

This storm was no big deal believeme, I was in milton at time it came thru just a little rain for about 5 minutes

I have been so hopped up on cold meds today, I didn't even know we had a tornado warning until the weather channel sent me a text.. Wow.

The sky looked wicked! We were directly in line of it, thank God it didn't reach us!!

Used to have the best swimming around till the campground made it private or charged you a bunch to swim!

A couple miles slightly northwest of Milton off highway 59.

Where is Clear Lake?
