Default Devastation in Iowa City Tonight

Wow, you almost became a VFR-into-IMC casualty without even using an
aircraft. I'm glad everyone is ok!


Thanks, Gary. In fact, the tornado was closer to me than I thought it
was.

See this graphic:

Blow it up to full-size (if it's not already), and check out Muscatine
Avenue on the right side of the map. That's where I was sitting, under
a gas station canopy, when the tornado came through.

Dang. It really *was* towering over me...
