Low pressure over Wisconsin deepened as it moved across Lake Superior and into northern Ontario. Strong winds accompanied and followed the passage of a cold front. The damaging winds affected the entire area, downing trees and power lines and causing some structural damage. Nearly 100,000 customers completely lost power with thousands others experiencing brief power outages. In Rochester, a roof was blown off a building supply store. In Groveland, a vehicle was towing a 17' sailboat on I-390 when the boat and trailer were overturned by the wind. In Portage, a train struck a tree that had fallen across the tracks. The train was damaged and could not continue. In Mendon, a two-story, 100-year-old barn was pushed over. In Lyndonville, a recreational trailer dealer sustained damage to a third of the inventory.
