Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeMoisture was drawn north into Iowa during the overnight hours of the 6th into the 7th. The freezing level rose to around 14,500 feet as precipitable water rose to 1.5 to 2 inches. The atmosphere was weakly sheared, in the 20 to 25 kt range, with about 2000 J/kg of CAPE available. There was a decent amount of low level CAPE, in the 100 to 300 J/kg range, which favored the production of landspouts. Other severe parameters were decent with lifted indices in the -6 to -8 C range, downdraft CAPE of 600-800 J/kg, and 400 to 600 J/kg of CAPE in the -10 to -30 C layer of the atmosphere. Thunderstorms developed in the morning hours over central and northeast Iowa. The movement was very slow, resulting in very heavy rainfall. Rainfall of 4 to 7.5 inches was recorded in Black Hawk County in the Waterloo area. The heavy rain resulted in flash flooding. Scattered reports of flash flooding were received from Boone County and Jasper County. Considerable flooding of basements and roads occurred in Waterloo. In addition, numerous roads were covered by 1 to 2 feet of flowing water in the Waterloo area. Flash flooding eroded the bed under the railroad in the town of Dewar. By mid day, scattered reports of funnel clouds were received. The first were from isolated storms over the central part of the state, later additional reports were received as a cold front advanced southeast across the state during the afternoon and evening. Heavy rainfall developed over the south central counties into parts of the central counties. Flash flooding was observed in Lucas County in the Chariton area. Four and one half inches of rain fell in Chariton. The resulting flash flooding swept an 11 year old girl into the city storm sewer. She was carried nearly 3 blocks underground before escaping the waters. In Poweshiek County, flash flooding took place east and southeast of Brooklyn with water up to 3 feet deep in the street after 3.5 inches of rain fell.
