These tornadoes were very weak, according to officials. They hit a few trees and old rural buildings, but caused no structural damage to buildings in active use. No injuries or deaths have been reported. The National Weather Service will not be conducting a survey or report on the storms.
One of the more interesting #tornado encounters was this large rotating mass that became rain wrapped at approx. 3:$5 pm near Harvey, IA. #iawx
