These are some pics from the "EF5" Tornado before it hit Parkersburg, Iowa on last Sunday.
The National weather service reported at this stage the tornado had just touched down and was 3/4 mile wide with winds up to 205 MPH!
It's intensity decreased as it moved another 43 miles across Iowa for 1 hour and 10 minutes but as it approached Dunkerton, Iowa it's base increased to 1.2 miles wide!
