An outbreak of severe thunderstorms developed rather unexpectedly over Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois on the evening of Thursday, April 13. Several strong, destructive tornadoes touched down across eastern Iowa with at least one fatality confirmed. In southern Wisconsin, widespread hail larger than golfballs caused considerable damage.

A series of thunderstorms passed over Green Bay from about 10 PM-midnight with copious amounts of lightning and wind gusts in the 30-40 mph range. I set up my video camera on the eastern shore of the Green Bay pointing west/southwest.
