CheeselandSkies Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Holy smoke, TORE for Marshaltown.Not that it isn't a bad situation, but I'm a little surprised at the use of the "tornado damage threat...catastrophic" line. That to me suggests high confidence in a Tuscaloosa, Joplin, Moore or Phil Campbell type of situation (to name a few). The couplet just popped up right over town, and while strong it doesn't look to be on that scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
