Chased yesterday and saw the big wedge that started just northeast of Ottumwa. Actually saw it form from the first dust swirl in the dirt field and rapidly grow into a beast I could hear roar.
I was set up in the perfect position to get the shot of a lifetime as it crossed Hwy 149, but my daughter who was seeing her first tornado became too scared and wanted to get as far away from it as possible so I had to drive away last minute. Still got some cool pics and video I’m working on.
