On this day in Iowa weather history...

1990: Severe thunderstorms swept across Iowa producing at least 14 tornadoes, including an F4 which struck areas around Prairieburg and Worthington and an F2 which injured 15 people and produced 6 million dollars in damage in and around Ankeny. Hail reports ranged up to golf ball size near Elvira and wind gusts in excess of 75 mph were reported around Little Sioux and Logan. This was part of a wild stretch of weather in early to mid March of 1990 that saw a significant ice storm followed by several severe weather and tornado outbreaks then a big snow storm, all in a nine day stretch.
