Waterloo, IA Area Hammered












This evening I have been tracking a long track, large, and destructive tornado that touched down near Parkersburg, IA, tracked just north of Waterloo, near or over Oelwien, Dunkertown, Cedar Falls, Fairbank, near or over Strawberry Point, near or over Hazeltown, near or over New Hartford, near or over Manchester, and now as of this writing Dyrsville has just got hammered, and now the possible tornado is coming close to Debuque, IA. (Pardon any misspellings of city names) There have been other tornadoes times near the main tornado, and other smaller communities not mentioned above have been impacted. There has been heavy damage reported all along the path of this storm, with the heaviest damage reported in Parkersburg, IA where "you can't tell that homes were ever there" in parts of the town. As of around 8:30PM there have been a lot of injury reports and so far one un-confirmed fatality. I will update this later.
