Severe Weather

Another large tornado outbreak has struck the state of Iowa with damage and fatalities left in its wake.

The last severe weather outbreak in Iowa came the week before Christmas.

In 2020, the NWS in Des Moines issued 17 Severe T-storm Warnings in Black Hawk County.

It was a nearly unprecedented day for tornadoes in Iowa.

The August 10th derecho was a generational weather event. But that doesn't mean that another derecho won't happen in Iowa this summer.

Well, it turns out that it's actually Severe Weather Awareness Week and if you're looking to chase some awesome storms, do I have an idea for you. While this is not an official "storm chasing" certification this could be the next best thing, especially in Northeastern Iowa. It's pretty simple to be a storm spotter in Iowa.

Several large trees were either uprooted or had limbs ripped off in the southeastern part of Waterloo. Power was knocked out to about 1,600 customers.

Severe thunderstorms that rolled across northeast Iowa Saturday spawned at least six tornadoes, five of which caused damage in rural areas of four counties.
