Tornado Event April 13, 2006

...Overview...

During the late afternoon hours April 13th, thunderstorms developed in Central Iowa, and moved east along a warm front. These thunderstorms became supercells as they moved toward Eastern Iowa. The supercells brought wind and hail to locations along and north of Interstate 80, before three storms intensified as they approached Johnson and Linn counties. One supercell moved east from southern Benton, through Linn, and into Jones county and produced 3 tornadoes. Another supercell moved southeast across Johnson, Muscatine, Mercer, and portions of extreme western Rock Island counties. This storm produced many tornadoes, including a strong F2, in Iowa City. A third supercell moved southeast across Johnson and Muscatine county behind the other storm, and produced a tornado in eastern Johnson county. In addition to the tornadoes, these supercells produced numerous wind and large hail reports, as well as heavy rain. Other severe thunderstorms occurred in Eastern Iowa and Illinois through the late evening and early morning hours, mainly producing large hail and strong winds.
