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

My first thought upon seeing this graphic was, "Is that all
the bigger Iowa City is? It's just a little town!!!"

I guess I'm used to living in the LA area where I can drive
for hours and tens of miles and never 'leave' the city.
