A enormous tornado cell moved thru the Harlan Iowa area.

Local tv said that may have been 6 miles wide and move a good pace to the north.

This most active storm systems that in this area since 1978.

This system definitely left behind damage and possible injuries and casualties.

like eye of a hurricane unthinkable.

I saw the aftermath of a mile wide tornado that hit Topeka Kansas ( long time ago ) and the devastation was unbelievable.
