...NWS Damage Survey for 07/29/2021 Tornado Event...

.Overview...
A line of strong to severe thunderstorms moving south out of 
central Wisconsin began to intensify as it entered southern 
Wisconsin. Numerous reports of damage were received from
the strong straight-line wind damage. One particular portion of
the line started to bow out near Watertown, Wisconsin and as 
this happened, multiple tornadoes developed within the line of
thunderstorms and moved east to southeast in Jefferson and
Waukesha Counties. The current total of tornadoes stands at four,
however, additional damage surveys to other parts of the area will
be conducted to determine if any additional tornadoes occurred.
