episode_narrativeA nearly stationary front, combined with abundant moisture and a strong upper level storm system to produce scattered strong to severe thunderstorms Wednesday evening. A few reports of hail to near quarter size and wind gusts of around 60 mph were received. Damage was confined mainly to trees and power lines. The thunderstorms also spawned two F0 tornadoes, one east of Washington and the other near Keota. The tornadoes were short lived and produced no damage or injuries. The thunderstorms continued through the late evening and into Thursday morning. During this time the threat shifted from hail, high wind and isolated tornadoes to very heavy rain and flash flooding, as the thunderstorms continuously developed over some of the same areas. Rainfall amounts of up to 3 to 4 inches were reported in portions of Southeast Iowa, an area which just 48 hours earlier received anywhere from 2 to 5 inches of rain. As a result, much of the heavy rain went into runoff resulting in fairly widespread flash flooding.
