| episode_narrative | During the evening hours an unseasonably strong cold front advanced into Iowa from the northwest. The airmass was capped, however the very strong dynamics were able to overcome the cap and a narrow line of strong to severe thunderstorms developed ahead of the front. For the most part, the storms produced strong winds as high as 75 MPH. The line had several bowing segments along it, each causing high wind. For the most part the damage was limited to trees and power lines. A window was blown out of a house in Roland in Story County. Also, the high winds tore off some of the siding from a school building in Creston in Union County. Some hail was reported during the early stages of the squall lines development. Golf ball size hail fell southwest of Emmetsburg in Palo Alto County. A few reports of hail three quarters of an inch to an inch in diameter were received. As the storms moved through Emmet County, lightning struck a corn crib on a farm in rural Ringsted. The crib was set on fire and destroyed before fire fighters were able to contain the blaze. |
