...PRELIMINARY DAMAGE SURVEY OF AUGUST 28 STORMS...
NWS GREEN BAY CONDUCTED A PARTIAL INVESTIGATION OF WIND DAMAGE FROM
THUNDERSTORMS WHICH OCCURRED OVER SHAWANO COUNTY ON THE EVENING OF
AUGUST 28 WITH SHAWANO COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. PRELIMINARY
INVESTIGATIONS WEST OF SHAWANO LAKE INDICATE THAT THERE WAS STRAIGHTLINE
WIND DAMAGE FROM A DOWNBURST WHICH OCCURRED JUST EAST OF THE FRAILING
ROAD AND HIGHWAY 47-55 INTERSECTION. THERE WERE SEVERAL LARGE TREES AND
LIMBS AND POWER LINES FELLED IN DOWNTOWN SHAWANO AS WELL. THERE WERE
PUBLIC REPORTS OF ROPE-LIKE FUNNELS WHICH OCCURRED JUST BEFORE THE
DOWNBURST DAMAGE...ONE OF WHICH WAS CAPTURED ON VIDEO BY A CITIZEN.
THERE WERE ALSO REPORTS OF WATER SPOUTS ON SHAWANO LAKE AROUND THE SAME
TIME. HOWEVER...THE DAMAGE SURVEYED TODAY WAS CAUSED MAINLY BY
STRAIGHTLINE WINDS. SHAWANO COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT EXPECTS TO
COMPLETE AN AERIAL SURVEY OF DAMAGE WITH THE CIVIL AIR PATROL ON THE
AFTERNOON OF AUGUST 29.
