Tornado hits Iowa City

In which nature fucks some shit up! (This post is mostly for Fairfield ex-pats.)

Iowa City is an hour away from here. It’s where one goes to party and shop when one lives in Fairfield. A tornado cruised through Iowa City last night, killing one person, ripping the roof off Menard’s and the Old Capitol building, and making a big mess. Here’s links:

In Batavia, it merely rained.

    isn’t it a bit early for tornados? damn. it’s the one thing about living on the prairies that makes me seriously want to move to the arctic. at least there you don’t have sudden clouds coming down to you out.

    i’m glad you weren’t in iowacity
