The National Weather Service in Des Moines says Preliminary Storm Surveys will take place today. Two teams will fan out to assess the damage occurring from Monday’s severe storms, and report on their findings. Their assessments will help to determine  the type of weather event that occurred (such as a Tornado or straight-line winds, hail and flooding), duration and path.  One of the teams will deploy from near Stuart to the Warren County line. The other team will cover an area between Story and Tama Counties.

The results and conclusions of the survey will be completed and uploaded to the National Weather Service website late this afternoon or early evening.
