| Sounds like the NWS has Iowa or at least parts of Iowa under the gun for some severe weather this week. Keep an eye out this week and hope that there will be no repeats of May 25, 2008. |

Lived in Iowa City during the floods of 08, things got pretty hairy. Helped the local fish store move everything out of the basement and shop in a panic, and hundreds and hundreds of sandbags filled along the river near the library.
Not a fun time. After the waters finally receded, I took my motorcycle for a ride on the roads .Everything was coated in a brown dust and smelled like beached fish and worms. You could see the waterlines on all the buildings in IC/Coralville, and the trees and shrubs were all bare beneath where the water was. |

F5 tornado took out part of Parkersburg. Not sure how long it's path was for sure. I know it went from P'burg to New Hampton to Dunkerton and down Dunkerton Road. Dad saw the damn thing when it was at Dunkerton Road. I was in P-burg working and weather got nasty so we packed it up and headed back I did not see the tornado but sure am lucky I didn't |
