Twister!

If you watch or read any kind of news, you will hear that a tornado hit downtown Iowa City last night.

It missed our apartment by about two blocks. The Chezik Honda dealership on the corner of Highway 6 and Mormon Trek is a mess. Cars are flipped over, the building is ripped apart. Downtown is a disaster. I could only suppress my curiosity until 6 a.m. this morning when I drove downtown to look around. The ped mall is strewn with trash and a lot of buildings are missing roofs. Most of the stoplights fell down.

As your official Iowa blogger, I have images for you.















I took these bottom two images along Riverside Drive.

The photo with the CLOSED sign shows what's left of the old Dairy Queen on Riverside.
