Incredibly extensive wind damage occurred all across Portage county. Plover was one of the hardest hit areas, and a place where power still hasn’t been restored 5 days later. There, a 86 mph wind gust was recorded at Tim Bubla’s weather station. The wind was powerful enough to blow in both of the glass front doors of the Menards in town. The storm then produced an estimated 90 mph wind gust in the Town of Arnott. By this time, a little hook was forming at the leading edge of the most devastating winds, so the National Weather Service issued a Tornado Warning for the eastern portion of Portage county, including Amherst, and for central Waupaca county. Extensive damage occurred in Amhert, so much so that the Portage county fair was cancelled for the remainder of the weekend. Widespread wind damage continue across all of Waupaca county and into Outagamie county. 5 additional tornadoes were confirmed in this area, including an EF0 near the Waupaca airport with estimated peak winds of 85 mph and an an EF1 with 90 mph winds near New London.
