Ice shoves on Lake Winnebago pushed a boat house off it's foundation in the Village of Stockbridge.

The Stockbridge building inspector, Paul Birschbach, tells NBC26 the building was pushed around 3 feet off it's foundation and fire crews had to disconnect electricity to the building.

"As my wife describes it, it sounds like a bunch of bowling balls getting dropped and it makes a weird noise, dropping and shoving on itself. It's amazing. You [really] see the power of nature," said Birschbach. 

According to neighbors ice shoves have been pushed near several boat houses in the area.

As many as 20 homes could be affected.
