episode_narrativeA second round of severe weather plagued portions of Eastern Iowa. Scattered severe thunderstorms developed over North Central Iowa during the late afternoon, and moved back across some of the same areas along and north of Interstate 80. The severe thunderstorms produced damaging winds, large hail and a few funnel clouds.
event_narrativeLightning struck a 100 year old Cottonwood tree. Witnesses said it sounded like a bomb going off. Pieces of the tree were found as far as 200 feet away, and several were speared into the ground with tremendous force. The lightning traveled down the tree and dug a deep trench in the ground, heading toward a metal storage shed.
