Tornado warned cell in Dallas County near Minburn, IA.  It tried...it died.

Still tornado warned but obviously does not look very tornadic.

This was a little scary.  Wall cloud with rapid vertical motion, walnut sized hail, and RFD ripping in over north Des Moines, IA.  Too much RFD in this case.

Torn warned cell #2 of the day.  Reality in northern Clarke County IA north east of Osceola.

TV station reported tornado... hmmm, looks better going up the hill.

Marion county tornado warned cell near Melcher, IA.

Another TV station reported touchdown in Marion County.  This one made the LSR's....hmmmmm.
