This tornado first caused damage to groves of trees southwest of Stanley, then affected a couple farmsteads. It intensified significantly as it approached Stanley, demolishing an outbuilding and then two outbuildings with a construction business. An historic train depot had a portion of its roof removed. A high tension power line was blown down. About six homes had their roofs removed, and in the northeast edge of Stanley, a roof and outer walls were removed from a portion of a house. The tornado continued into northwestern Clark County where it damaged more trees and outbuildings (see entry from NWS La Crosse).
