Tornadoes in Iowa City
Growing up, we lived in Iowa City fourteen years, and never once did a tornado come near. The lore in the Seventies was that a tornado hadn't come through Iowa City in forty years, which gave rise to all sorts of local wisdom about the river valley protecting it.
Oops.
Oops.
The Daily Iowan went up in a plane and got some stark aerial photos of the disaster. The extended Daily Iowan coverage is here. The Iowa City Press-Citizen (which Your Blogger delivered every afternoon circa 1973) has a slideshow here.
UPDATE: Lots more here.
