1984 Tornado

At approximately 1:00 am CDT on June 8, 1984, a large severe tornado swept into Barneveld. It was part of a large outbreak of storms that started the evening before with tornadoes also touching down in Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Minnesota. Although a tornado watch had been issued, most residents were unaware that a storm was approaching until they were awoken by sounds of thunder and bright lightning. The 0.4-mile (0.60-km) wide tornado caused F5 damage, the highest level on the Fujita scale. The human and property toll was extensive. Two hundred of the village's 584 residents were injured, and nine were killed. Seventeen of the 18 businesses in Barneveld were destroyed, including all the government offices; the fire station, library, post office and churches were all flattened. In all, about 170 of the village's 225 commercial, agricultural and residential buildings were either destroyed instantly or damaged seriously enough that they were unable to be rebuilt. In fact, the only remaining and largely undamaged structure was the water tower, which has since been repainted. Damage to the village of Barneveld was estimated at $25 million with damage to the surrounding area put at about $40 million. Rebuilding began immediately, and by 2000, the population of Barneveld was almost exactly double what it was at the time the tornado nearly destroyed the town. The thunderstorm that created the tornado also put on one of the brightest lightning shows in recorded history generating 200 strikes per minute.

Little, if any, warning of the storm was received by the public that night, as an official Tornado Watch was not issued by the Weather Service until after the 10:00 news ended (when many people would have been watching television), and only a Severe Thunderstorm Warning was issued for Iowa county (Wisconsin State Journal, 9 June 1984.)
