Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA warm front lifting northward across the region on April 14, 2012 brought a round of severe thunderstorms during the late afternoon through much of the evening hours. Large hail and damaging winds were reported across eastern Iowa and western Illinois. A tornado occurred at Hedrick, Iowa in Keokuk county. Following the passage of the warm front there was increasing mid and upper level forcing and instability in place. There was adequate elevated instability as well as sufficient shear to trigger the severe thunderstorms. Three aircraft were damaged at the Quad Cities International Airport near Moline, Illinois. A house was partially unroofed near the airport and a highway sign was also blown over. The automated wind sensor recorded 78 mph winds at the airport. An EF1 tornado occurred in the comma-head of a bow echo along a path from 1 mile west of Hedrick to just west of Martinsburg. Total path length was about 3 miles. Power lines were downed, trees snapped, a machine shed wall was blown in, grain bins were damaged, a shed was destroyed, and the ball park was damaged. Approximately 10 homes were damaged in Hedrick along with rural farmsteads. A deputy police car was turned around and fell into a ditch. Numerous trees were also blown down. No injuries were reported.
