Looks like Tom and I may have been within a mile or two possibly less, of a tornado Friday night when a Ef1 touched down 2 miles NW of Richland. We took 24th street north to 89. It was very possible the circulation passed over us. Tom commented on how low the visibility was and that he had not seen it like that in a long time. My guess is we drove through the RFD. We were there approximately the same time it crossed our path.
SVR from 01z to 03z You can see circulation from 01:44 to 02:30z it shows as yellow on this radar.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
You managed to get yourself in good position all day on Friday it looked like from SpotterNetwork! I ended up on the lakeshore, and out of position for the tornadoes – I wasn’t expecting those at that time anyway. The damage/flooding in Holland was pretty exceptional though!
Maybe one of these days I’ll run across you out in the field. Looks like we’re going to be quiet around here for awhile in regards to weather though.
