Bookend vorticy of squall line left
Jackson County Iowa and entered
Carroll County Illinois around 1900
CST (0100 UTC) near Marcus. Only
damage reports received were that of
large limbs down that took two people
to move on Illinois 84 during
1902-1907 CST. The location is
between 0.2 miles north northeast of
Marcus near the golf course to 0.4
miles east northeast of Marcus near
the northwest edge of Mississippi
Pallisades State Park. The sheriff
department indicated additional trees
down on Senic Ridge Road during
1904-1909 CST. The location is likely
between the Jo Daviess/Carroll county
line and the northeast edge of
Pallisades State Park. Although no
additional reports of severe winds
were received, KDVN 88D data suggests
the potential for additional wind
damage across the rest of Washington
township, and across Woodland into
Freedom townships to a development
around Lake Carroll.

in this area to at least 60 knots
aloft. Additional tree and power line
damage occurred at the intersection

A squall line developed north of a
stationary front across Southern Iowa
into Northern Illinois in a near
tropical atmosphere. The squall line
moved east and bowed out as it moved
through Benton, Linn, and Jones
Counties in Iowa. Spotty severe wind
was reported in the northern parts of
Iowa and Johnson counties. A bookend
vorticy developed on the squall line
in Jones county and moved through
Jackson County Iowa and into northwest
Carroll County Illinois. Another small
bowing of the squall line occurred
across Whiteside County Illinois. The
storms in the squall line were
prolific lightning producers which
caused severe damage to a house in

north of a warm front in a near

Iowa into Central Illinois. The storms
organized into a squall line that
bowed out across Southeast Iowa and
West Central Illinois causing
considerable wind damage. Ahead of the
squal line, scattered severe storms
occurred.

An upper level disturbance combined
with a low level jet and a moist to
near tropical atmosphere and allowed
two separate mesoscale convective
complexes to develop north of a warm
front that was located over Missouri.
The first convective complex produced
an isolated hail report over West
Central Illinois while the second
complex produced an isolated severe
wind report in Southeast Iowa.
Hancock County

Sustained winds of 35 knots (40 mph)
to over 43 knots (50 mph). Storms
developed in a moist to near tropical
atmosphere along a warm front from
Dubuque, Iowa to Falls City, Nebraska,
and ahead of a cold front in western
Iowa. A strong low level jet
continuously feed moist air into the
storms resulting in copious amounts
of rain in very short time periods
across Eastern Iowa and West Central
Illinois. The additional shear
provided by the warm front allowed 3
tornadoes to develop. As the night
progressed, the warm front stalled
along the Iowa/Missouri border and
became a focus for thunderstorms to
train along with very heavy rainfall.

Dozens of trees and hundreds of
branches were blown down, including
some that fell on homes and power
lines. Power was out to virtually the
entire city of Carmi at one time or
another during or after the storm.
Trees blocked traffic on about a dozen
streets, and at least one car was
damaged by a falling tree. There was
a report of a double-wide mobile home
being blown off its foundation. The
problems of downed electric lines and
poles were complicated by extensive
flash flooding, which slowed the
response of repair crews. A number of
live wires landed in floodwaters.
Power was restored to most residents
of the city within 24 hours.

evacuated by a backhoe. Many
businesses were closed. Occupants of a
mobile home were evacuated, and a
basement wall collapsed at a home on
Webb Street. Vehicles were swamped,
including some cars that stalled while
trying to pass through deep water on
Main Street. The high water made it
difficult or impossible for utility
crews and emergency workers to respond
to power lines downed by high winds in
the storms.
