As of today, most of the storm surveys are complete for the December 15th outbreak. It's unbelievable.
  1. The entire event has been classified as a derecho. The first December derecho in the US anywhere ever.
  2. 43 confirmed tornadoes in Iowa. The previous record was 35 set in August 2014.
  3. 17 confirmed tornadoes EF2 strength or higher. The previous record was 16 set in June 1984.
  4. Record high non-thunderstorm winds including 4 sites that clocked non-thunderstorm wind speeds over 80mph.
  5. The Des Moines airport recorded a wind gust over 70mph. The highest non-thunderstorm gust ever recorded there.
  6. The first ever moderate risk of severe weather in Iowa in December.
  7. Record highs shattered in several towns. 4 towns recorded temperatures of 75 degrees or higher.
