| Episode Narrative | A line of showers and thunderstorms tracked east across Iowa Tuesday afternoon and evening bringing damaging wind, occasional lightning, and heavy rain to eastern IA and northwest IL. The strongest reported winds of 60-70 mph, occurred in Buchanan and Linn counties. These winds brought down trees and powerlines as they moved through in the evening. A brief tornado occurred during the evening hours just southeast of Fairbank in an open field. Another brief tornado occurred just west of Winthrop IA in an open field. Since no visible damage was observed with either tornado, they were assigned an EF-U rating. The NWS would like to thank Buchanan County Emergency Management for assistance with the storm survey. |
