Episode Narrative | An area of upper level low pressure slowly moved across the central Plains during the September 22nd through the 23rd time frame. Significant moisture was in place across the mid Missouri River Valley ahead of this system. This combination led to scattered to numerous thunderstorms over eastern Nebraska and western Iowa starting on the 22nd and continuing into the day on the 23rd. The heavy persistent thunderstorms, especially late in the night and into the early morning hours on the 23rd led to significant flash flooding across parts of western Iowa, specifically in Council Bluffs. |
Event Narrative | Video obtained from Twitter showed a brief tornado touchdown in rural Butler County. A survey from the local emergency management indicated no damage from the tornado. |
