Jonbo Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Still preliminary but should be updated sometime soon here. https://www.weather.gov/dmx/20180719_Tornadoes Appears my video of the rotation going overhead was moments before the report ENE of Ankeny, forwarded it to DMX. Didn't think it was going to drop that quickly or I would've followed it sooner. Pella got extremely lucky, EF2-3 damage would've been over practically all of town if it the track was only 1-2 miles back to the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonbo Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Report finalized and no major changes to the preliminary ratings. Rotation that went right over my place before touchdown confirmed EF0. I'm ok with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
