Just crossed the North Little Rock path on I-40, narrow swath of shredded pines is pretty obvious

Covington was high end
We may have escaped a really significant outbreak with thankfully only one EF4

Good thing it missed towns; was a very close call for Farson, Martinsburg, Ollie, Harper and Wellman (slightly less so for Keota). There are lots of teensy communities that dot the rural Iowa road grid, more than you'd expect. It's similar to Kansas in that regard.
I'm curious what the survey finds was damaged just south of and on Highway 92, which would be the debris in my video. Hoping it wasn't (a) house(s), but at least it seems the only serious injuries were near Ottumwa with the first tornado.

Not sure I'd call that with so many surveys to go/preliminary.

Yeah…we’re still probably gonna see over 100 tornadoes by the end of it all
Yeah, that’s a good point. I just re checked a few and some I thought were final were still preliminary

Major tornado damage near Purdy TN (McNairy Co.)
Asphalt scoured, homes completely demolished.

No doubt a violent tornado but it’s most impressive damage seems to come in short bursts…most likely a multiple vortex tornado
What kind of winds does it take to rip asphalt from roads???

DMX/DVN still have it all as one tornado all the way from Wapello County to northwest of Kalona in Johnson County. Hope it gets corrected soon...radar should tell the tale in addition to chaser video.
That reminds me, anyone save any radar grabs of the Iowa supercell? I neglected to do so in the heat of the moment.

Wow. That thing looked absolutely mean on camera

Looks like some additional small tornadoes will be added to the total up here. Will be intrigued by damage in Iowa county, since I was watching the radar pretty closely.

That's pretty prolific by our standards, even if they were all "weak" and from a QLCS.

Depends on the condition of the road.
It was in a weird place radar wise, but I got a few screenshots off my phone when I was watching it on radar omega.

Those would be right as it was about to get munched and the tornado was about to rope out northwest of Kalona. Thanks, though! Hoping someone has some from near/during the cycle southwest of Keota. I agree Iowa radar coverage leaves something to be desired, with only KDMX and KDVN in the state.
