May 8, 1988 Outbreak

I am trying to find some data on the May 8, 1988 tornado outbreak in WI. All the data I can find is either incomplete or completely missing. Anyone know where I can find some good data?
Thanks

Have you tried this location? http://www4.ncdc.noaa.gov/cgi-win/wwcgi.dll?wwEvent~Storms

I guess they don't have a lot of descriptions on there as far as the reports go.

If you're looking for data and maps , Plymouth State Weather Center is good source for weather data and generating maps back to the 1950's :

NOAA has some maps going back to the 1870's:
