Tornadoes, after dark

Posted: 10 Apr 2011 06:48 AM

A handful of powerful supercell storms lifted northeast along the warm front Saturday evening putting down a number of tornadoes. The featured map is a summary of the local storm reports with most of those tornado reports coming from one supercell that developed north of Omaha and survived all the way to northcentral Iowa. This situation was particularly dangerous as many of the tornadoes occured after sunset. The town of Mapleton was particularly hard hit with reports this morning of over half of the town heavily damaged.
