Well, it turns out that it's actually Severe Weather Awareness Week and if you're looking to chase some awesome storms, do I have an idea for you. While this is not an official "storm chasing" certification this could be the next best thing, especially in Northeastern Iowa. It's pretty simple to be a storm spotter in Iowa.
Last week, multiple tornadoes struck Linn County but nowhere near Cedar Rapids, where the sirens sounded. Why did they sound here? I went straight to the source.
