| Episode Narrative | Low pressure brought strong thunderstorms over Iowa and Illinois the evening of October 6th, 2016. Just ahead of the low's path, a warm front was positioned over Iowa and Illinois near Interstate 80. This allowed for winds supporting tornadoes to develop with the strongest storms. A cluster of strong to severe storms moved from near Ottumwa Iowa, northeast through Scott county, with several areas of damaging winds and tornadoes along the path from Louisa and Muscatine counties, through Scott county, and into portions of Rock Island county, Illinois before ending. |
| Event Narrative | An EF1 tornado began in southwestern Davenport in the downtown area, tracking northeast. Damage began on Credit Island, and extended through downtown Davenport, the Village of East Davenport, Bettendorf, and into rural northeast Scott County. The tornado crossed the Mississippi River south of Princeton, Iowa and continued into Illinois, hitting Cordova, Illinois before lifting. Along the path, damage was primarily to trees and outbuildings. Some trees fell on homes and cars. In downtown Davenport, the roof of the jail and the roof of a homeless shelter were also damaged. Peak winds were estimated to be 100 mph. The widest portion of the path occurred in eastern Davenport/Village of East Davenport. |
