The Sky Darkens Uptown
This is the leading edge of a Severe thunderstorm that rolled into the central Iowa area this afternoon.The sky that had been overcast all day had finally broken with some sunlight when this front hit.Just to the left of this frame the skies were partly cloudy and blue.The lighting was the classic off tone you expect during tornado warnings.The rains soon followed and we got almost 2 inches in about 1 1/2 hrs.Thankfully our town did not see tornadic activity,but it was skirting all around us as we watched the news play.Norwalk,a town about 15 miles away from us had extensive tornado damage.
