For the second day in a row, severe thunderstorms moved across portions of western Wisconsin on May 16th. These storms primarily produced large hail from Taylor County south to Buffalo, Trempealeau and Jackson Counties. The largest reported hail was quarter sized in Jump River (Taylor County), near Gilmanton (Buffalo County), near Independence (Trempealeau County) and northeast of Northfield (Jackson County). Some wind damage also occurred across northern Trempealeau County where power lines were blown down. Heavy rains from the storms created flooding across northwest Jackson County where almost 20 roads were closed and a state of emergency was declared. Around 1900 customers in Jackson County were without power as a result of the storms.
