Transcript
00:00this is that cell this is the wall cloud of that cell it's just now become visible actually i lost
00:05sight of it for a while because of that rain of that cell that's back to the southwest you can
00:09see that rain free base back to my southwest but more cells even back to the south of it but
00:14as i was tracking this cell probably about a half an hour ago i was in independence iowa
00:18and right as after i got tornado warned the tornado sirens warnings went off on my phone
00:24i was seeing the rotation right above me just in front of me a little bit and suddenly an entire
00:29half of a roof of a warehouse went flying off of the warehouse now i couldn't tell if it was
00:34a
00:34tornadic winds or just some straight line rfd winds but since it was right underneath that rotation
00:39i'm pretty sure that was a brief weak tornado lifting that roof of that warehouse off
00:44threw some debris a little bit but after that that was all i saw flying from that storm but yeah
00:48we
00:48are now dealing with a lot of rain here now it's very messy i'm getting hit by all the rain
00:53from
00:53this southwest storm losing sight at times of this wall cloud so i'm potentially thinking about
00:58one of these storms to the south might be more of the threat tonight uh as we go into the
01:03evening
01:04but this is still a dangerous storm i'm going to continue to track to the east kind of stay between
01:08the two storms so i can watch both of them uh concerns about the storm as it moves to the
01:12east
01:12into the dubuque area you know quite a populated area and we should see that low level jet ramping up
01:18uh now and as we go later into that into the evening here back to you jeff
01:22thank you
