Numerous reports of large hail and pockets of wind damage accompanied severe thunderstorms that moved across parts of southwest and central Wisconsin.  A brief tornado touchdown also occurred near Urne (Buffalo County), but only some crop damage was reported.  Spotters and law enforcement officials reported hail ranging in size from dimes to as large as golf balls.  Hail with a diameter of 2.5 inches was observed at the La Crosse National Weather Service (La Crosse County).  Hardest hit by thunderstorm winds estimated at 70 mph was the Pigeon Falls area (Trempealeau County), where four homes were heavily damaged, several barns were knocked down and numerous trees were blown down.  The Hixton area (Jackson County) was also hit hard, with damaging winds downing power lines, which closed Interstate 94 for an hour and a half.
