The track was to the southeast, ending in southeastern Fort Atkinson near the intersection of Hackbarth Road and Bramble Bush Lane.
Heavy rain and rotating storms pushed through Jefferson and Waukesha County last night.
The NWS says numerous trees snapped or uprooted during the storms, with roof damage to several structures. To date we've had 26 tornadoes across the state. However, this was the first one to touchdown in our viewing area. Additional details will be added once new information arrives.
