Meteorologist John McLaughlin and Iowa Helicopter conducted an aerial
fly over of storm damage in eastern Carroll and Greene County, Iowa.
Track Length: Intermittent: 10 miles.  Maximum continuous path: 2
miles.  Maximum width: 50 yards.
Damage Rating: EF0.  Crop damage and utility poles bent. No
structures impacted.
Estimated Peak Wind: 85 mph
Comments: Very intermittent tornado track noted beginning three miles
north of Coon Rapids, Iowa proceeding east across hwy 25 and
dissipating at Cooper in Greene County.  Only continuous track
extending more than two miles with width up to 50 yards was noted 5
miles north of Bagley/4 miles west of Cooper. Very evident track
through crop fields. Tornado track meandered making 90 degree bends
to the north then back to the east.

After Cooper, Iowa, no convergent damage could be located.  We could
not detect any convergent swath to correlate with touchdown reports
near Rippey, although widespread west to east wind damage to crops is
noted with estimated speeds of 65-70 mph. This continued to near
Woodward, IA.

We did not have time to survey further into central or western
Carroll Co. where additional
