| episode_narrative | Summary of events of May 16-17, 1999:On the 16th into the 17th two lines of thunderstorms developed: one north to south across western Iowa and the other repeatedly developed east to west from Butler to Clayton counties in northeast Iowa and moved east into northwest Illinois as a squall line. Thunderstorms along this line strengthened as they moved east, with several storms producing large hail, funnel clouds, damaging winds, flash flooding, and one confirmed tornado.The tornado (an F0) was spotted near Menominee in Jo Daviess County. hail as large as golf balls fell in East Dubuque (also in Jo Daviess County). Severe thunderstorm winds caused structural damage across portions of Stephenson, Whiteside, Carroll, Henry, and Bureau Counties. The costliest and most dramatic damage, however, did not come from tornadoes or hail but rather from flash flooding. Several inches of rain fell over portions of East Dubuque in only a few hours, causing a major flash flood in downtown. Water flowed down a street and into the Mississippi River, ripping up pavement and washing away cars as it went. See preceding individual Storm Data entries for further details and additional reports. |
