Well August started off to be a very nice month, with severe weather pounding the area with mainly high winds and heavy rains. Nonetheless a fairly good shelf cloud rolled through the area once again bringing with it some hefty winds with the first round of storms. This was the only part of the chase really, as darkness was quickly closing in as the other rounds of thunderstorms were as well. The second round came through just after 9:30 PM, bringing more high winds and very heavy rain. Also with it was one of the better lightning shows in a long time, I captured a good 2:30 minute video of the lightning and tremendous thunder that you can view here:

Heavy rains with the continuous storms did bring flash flood warnings over much of the area in north central Iowa with rainfall amounts from 4-10 inches!! Reports in a couple of bigger cities had water at least 2 ft high as it was rushing through the streets and one major highway near Algona, IA was shut down as high water rose above it.
Besides those storms, the website issues continue. Essentially the website will have to be redone in order for it to work properly and be updated on a timely basis. So you can expect a new website for my homepage within the next couple of weeks hopefully. Also during this time, do not expect StormCenterUSA’s pages to be updated, althouth all images will update automatically thus any of those will be viewed in timely fashion. Otherwise, that is all for now…
