(Radio Iowa) – Severe thunderstorms with damaging winds rolled over Iowa last (Sunday) night, according to meteorologist Andrew Ansorge at the National Weather Service in Johnston says “We do have a report of a tornado about half way between Fort Dodge and Harcourt around 11:30 last evening,” Ansorge says. “That’s the only tornado report we’ve had. We’ve heard lots of reports of funnel clouds but no real damage that we’ve heard of at this time.”
There’s since been a second tornado confirmed in northwest Iowa’s Osceola County, just before five o’clock last night that ripped the roof off a chicken barn in Ocheyedan, though no injuries are reported. Ansorge say there’s another chance of thunderstorms on Tuesday.
