Default Devastation in Iowa City Tonight

Man, that WAS a storm, no? Actually with much harder rain than this

Ah yes, the Oshkosh memories. That night will be recounted for
generations to come...I can just hear the embellishments..."There we
were, strolling back from the Charcoal pit when, wham! Rain, hail,
*and* a funnel cloud were seen. Amazingly, the hail missed the N-40.
The ultralights, however, were creamed. And the twister managed to take
out the Hilton...wiped it clean off the foundation, creating a perfect
spot for the Alexis Park Inn & Suites of Oshkosh."
