What a crazy day. Eerily similar to March 31 2023. After 14 hrs of off and on rain, we popped into the dry slot and sun appeared around 2 pm. We knew we could be in trouble! A rougue cell mentioned by Tom fired off to my sw. While all eyes were on the tornado further west with the main line. I knew that cell could rotate. My son was chasing it. He said it had broad rotation that may drop at any moment. But it didnt! However the west part of the storm had a incredible hail signature!! So I drove around the north edge of Ottumwa. I began to see egg to tennis ball hail in fields! As I got to nw part of city the hail, wind and flooding was shocking! Here are some of pics I took! Oh and I have about 2.3" rain past 48 hrs.

Edmonds special. Sunny down here this is why I'm so jealous of the people up north.

My rain total for the event is 1.73".

Going to visit FL next month. It will be a nice break from the May Gray crap.

My phone app says a high of 72 but “mostly cloudy” on Easter. I think it’d be tough to pull of a 70+ day in early April without ample sunshine but I guess it’s happened under SW flow before.
