RARE Event !  I extremely dislike those who flood blogs with multiple postings, however, this is such a RARE Event for Iowa in January I need to share it.  WILLIAMSBURG, Iowa ~~~ A tornado touched down in Iowa County Monday near Williamsburg.  Nick Stewart took photos of the storm and says it appears to have lifted around 2:20 p.m.  While the tornado was in progress, the Iowa County Emergency Management reports a semi was blown over.  The National Weather Service says it was an EF-1 tornado with estimated wind speeds of 90 miles an hour.  It was on the ground for roughly 8 minutes and traveled around 4.7 miles. No injuries were reported but there was minor damage to a cattle shelter, tree damage at a farmstead before it lifted near Highway 151.  A second tornado occurred briefly around 2:50 p.m in Linn County. The NWS classified the tornado as an EFU. No damage has been reported from the tornado. |

This is such a rare event in Iowa in January... The last time a January tornado occurred was in 1967. It took awhile for images and video to be posted for me to share. There are several good video posted by motorists in the area. If interested go to Utube to see them.... We are long time storm chasers as our poor Jeep will verify. .. Up sick.. Chemo Nausea.

Wow, that is unusual for up there. It's always tornado season down here. If I remember correctly our tornado season runs from September to June. July and August seem to be our safest months here.
