We could certainly use more, but at least there was some decent rainfall yesterday, bringing at least part of the brown lawns back to a little bit of green. Officially, Marshalltown received 85-hundredths of an inch of rain, Ames recorded 6-tenths of an inch.

The weather did turn severe with one tornado damaging at least one farm northwest of Pella. No injuries have been reported as a result of yesterday’s storms.
