"I wasn't home," says Amy Towne. "I was driving home. But, my fiancee and 3-month-old son were in the house."

A house that now is without a roof. That roof -- scattered throughout a nearby farm field.

"He just says he doesn't know what hit the house, but something hit hard, obviously," Amy says.

She says her fiancee and son were in the living room, on the first floor, when the storm hit.

They had been in the basement, seeking shelter, but Amy says her fiancee thought the brunt of the storm had passed.

"That's when it hit, a couple of minutes after that," Amy adds.

"I saw trees blowing away a debris flying," says Dave Anderson, who watched the storm blew through the northwest part of the city.

"It was just dark and so much rain, you couldn't even see," he says.

Anderson says no major damage at his place, "Real lucky."

But, a farm building on County Highway B is shredded to pieces.

Stoughton police report a nearby church also suffered some structural damage.

Everything in a direct path from Amy's Greig Trail home.

"This is all replaceable," she says.

It's still too soon for damage estimates.

Authorities are also working to determine if was a tornado or just strong winds that caused it.

Regardless, people in Stoughton are thankful no one was hurt.

"Thank God, thank God for that," says Amy.

Stoughton area residents are no strangers to severe storms.

On August 18, 2005, a F-3 tornado, with winds up to 200 miles-per-hour, carved a 10-mile path of destruction.

A town of Pleasant Springs man died in that storm. More than 20-people were injured.

Nearly 140-homes were damaged or destroyed.
