Parkersburg, IA tornado rated EF5

This video is amazing. Look at the Hallam-like meso at :41. No idea who these chasers are but they ran into the same issues as everyone else - debris everywhere.

If anyone else was on that storm, did anything happen just north of Winthrop? We saw "stuff" on Highway 187 in a notch, which Craig called strong inflow. When we got closer, we saw what could only be called a "suspicious lowering" given our knowledge, but it was enough for Craig to say "let's get the F@* out of here, just in case." Perhaps we'll never know what the heck it was we saw. We later intercepted a funnel over by Manchester but that's all we were assured of in that destructive mess of a storm.
