Tornado - Barre Mills, WI La Crosse County Date June 7, 2008 Time (Local) 5:45 - 5:55 p.m. EF Rating EF1 Est. Peak Winds   Path Length 6 miles Max Width 200 yards Injuries/Deaths 0 / 0 Summary: A tornado hit central La Crosse County, Wisconsin, near Barre Mills and it was surveyed by a National Weather Service meteorologist on Sunday, June 8th. It initially touched down just west Russian Coulee Road approx. 2 miles east of Barre Mills. There the tornado destroyed one metal barn and partially unroofed another.  Much of the debris from the first barn was thrown to the north; however, some of its debris was scattered to the east for nearly a half mile up a hill.  A family of 5 heard the tornado and they took cover in a basement.  Fortunately no one was injured.  By coincidence, the father lived in Barneveld, WI and both parents lived in Wautoma, WI when both of those cities were hit by tornadoes. The tornado then proceeded over the hill and then moved through yet another farmstead.  There the tornado destroyed yet another barn and unroofed much of the adjacent house.  Both soft and hardwood trees were either snapped or uprooted.  An elderly couple was in the house when the tornado hit and they were not injured. The tornado then moved through several wooded areas as it crossed County Road II, Antony Road, County Road II again, and then crossed Highway 162 South near Souchek Road.  It was here that the tornado dissipated. Several nearby neighbors saw the tornado as it moved through both farmsteads. In addition to the tornadic damage, there was sporadic straight line wind damage from County Road M in Barre Mills east northeast to Highway 162.  This damage was approximately a half mile south of the tornado damage (probably associated with the rear flank downdraft).  These straight line winds blew out the windows on west and north side of one house (approximately one mile south of Barre Mills on County Road M).  They also caused some trees to become uprooted.  These straight line winds were estimated to be in the 50 to 70 mph range.

Tornado - LOCATION Vernon County Date June 7, 2008 Time (Local) 5:48 - 5:50 p.m. EF Rating EF0 Est. Peak Winds   Path Length 0.4 miles Max Width 50 yards Injuries/Deaths 0 / 0 Summary: The last tornado of the day touched down south of Liberty Pole, WI in rural Vernon County.  This tornado hit a machine shed and tossed machinery into the air in addition to hitting nearby trees.
