Severe Thunderstorm? No… just looked intimidating

A severe thunderstorm warning was issued for Fond du Lac County Tuesday morning, June 25, 2024, but as storms rolled through, their bark was worse than their bite.

Small hail was reported around Fond du Lac but other than that it was heavy rain and a peak wind gust of 32 mph reported at the Fond du Lac Airport. No reports of damage or severe weather have been reported, though multiple instances of street flooding were reported. According to Alliant Energy.com, about 50 people were reporting outages in Fond du Lac County after the storms had gone through, with most of that being in the Lamartine area.

In Calumet County, a house was struck by lightning that warranted a check by the Town of Calumet Fire Department.

KFIZ News Director Doug Raflik was up early shooting photos of the storm’s shelf cloud as it came ashore at Lakeside Park.
