The very same phenomina that caused the deaths of people in Kentucky and Indiana has caused deaths in Iowa. This is the vortex that litterally touched the ground through a tornado in Iowa. Same phenomina as two weekends ago. The heat conduit in the Mid-Atlantic has sustained for several days. Noteworthy is the advancing cold front in the western USA that was on the heels of the vortex as it moved eastward.
