Unusual is the only way to describe yesterday’s weather in Iowa.
See how you do on this quiz from the National Weather Service. Yesterday were there:
- a) Tornadoes
- b) 39-degree high
- c) Rainfall over 1 inch
- d) 80-degree highs
- e) 4 inches of snow
- f) 2-inch hail….or
- g) All of the above
The correct answer is G….. All of the above.
The most frightening part was a suspected tornado north of Donahue in Scott County that swept east near Dewitt, Camanche and Clinton, all in Clinton County, then into Illinois.
Semi-trucks were blown over and there was damage to power lines, buildings and trees but no reported injuries.
That wasn’t the case in northern Illinois where one person died when a twister wiped out a small village north of Rochelle.
