[1] The system generating the Stoughton tornado was also accompanied by many reports of severe winds and hail throughout the region.

Numerous homes, businesses, farm buildings, vehicles, power-lines, trees, and other personal effects were either damaged or destroyed along its path that grew to a maximum width of about 600 yards north of Stoughton.

Further investigation revealed that the homes were not well-built, and the slow (sometimes nearly stationary) forward movement of the tornado negated a rating higher than F3.

Debris from this tornado was lofted by the parent updraft and carried downstream to scattered locations in the counties of Jefferson, Waukesha, Milwaukee, Walworth, Racine, and Kenosha.

[30][31] Ten years later to the day, three tornadoes touched down outside of Lake Geneva, Big Bend, and Waukesha.
