Severe storms that began to brew in eastern Nebraska blew into western Iowa Tuesday evening, quickly turning the skies dark. The storms brought winds of up to 70-miles per hour to parts of Carroll and Shelby Counties, and golf ball sized hail in the Crawford County town of Manilla. The National Weather Service says heavy tree damage was reported in Council Bluffs. Damage to a house and barn was reported to have occurred near Underwood at around 6:55-p.m., in the 23,000 block of Magnolia, where rotation was observed in the clouds.
The Iowa State Patrol reports high winds knocked over tractor-trailers on Interstate 29 last night. In Missouri Valley, the fire department lost power during the storm. The community had several downed power lines, with some fires sparked by lightning. Mid-American Energy reported this morning, that nearly 6,600 customers across the state had no power…near 6,100 of those were in Ft. Dodge. In the Webster County town of Dayton, a tree fell on a home, but no injuries were reported.
An outbuilding was reported to have been damaged by thunderstorm winds in Shelby at around 7:20-p.m. And, a large tree was uprooted four-miles west of Shelby at around 7:25-p.m.
About 5-minutes later, a 60-mile per hour gust of wind was recorded at the automated weather station located at the Harlan Airport. Earlier, several large tree branches fell in Missouri Valley and in Council Bluffs, causing power lines to fall in some locations.
The Crawford County Emergency Manager reported golf ball-size hail fell in Manilla, at around 7:45-p.m., and about three-miles east/southeast of Buck Grove, in Crawford County, winds reached up to 70-miles per hour. A better view of the damage and an assessment from the National Weather Service, is expected as the day progresses.

The southern part of Winneshiek county suffered heavy storm damage after a round of severe weather went through the area Monday night. Winneshiek county emergency management coordinator Sean Snyder says the most localized damage came in the southwestern portion of the county. Large hail did a lot of damage. “In Fort Atkinson the homes on the west side of people’s properties are completely shredded. Kind of looks like Swiss cheese in a way — it’s heavily damaged,” Snyder says.
Wind and hail damage was reported in Calmar and Ossian as well. Snyder says officials from the National Weather service office in La Crosse, Wisconsin will be on the scene today.He says they’ll do an assessment and match the damage with the models they produced to confirm how accurate their models were and can maybe explain the type of storm that hit.
The National Weather Service had issues a tornado warning for the area around 7 p-m.
