EMMAVILLE, Minnesota (AP) -- Strong storms smashed houses, deluged neighborhoods, toppled trees and left thousands without power across the Midwest on Friday in the latest round of fierce weather. No injuries were reported.
A tornado downed trees and overturned a trailer home near Pickerel Lake in Minnesota on Friday.
A tornado raked a half-mile-wide path of destruction in northwestern Minnesota, where a house overlooking Pickerel Lake near Emmaville was destroyed, it's contents spilling down the hill. Wooden chairs and tables were floating below. Nearby was a concrete slab the size of a two-car garage, but whatever structure once sat on it was blown away.
Flooding forced the evacuation of about a dozen homes in the central Iowa town of Cambridge, but areas to the southwest saw some of their roads and buildings re-emerge from subsiding waters in a much-needed respite from severe weather.
Heavy rains that began Thursday night seeped into most basements and at least one foundation collapsed, said Lori Morrissey, Story County's emergency management coordinator.
"The ground is just fully saturated," Morrissey said. "The runoff from the community just all comes to that part of town. This is probably the worst it's ever been."
In Illinois, the Chicago Department of Aviation said high winds and storms were causing delays and cancellations at the city's airports.
Delays at O'Hare International Airport were averaging 90 minutes late Friday afternoon, and dozens of flights were canceled. At Midway International Airport, some flights were delayed up to an hour.
Don't Miss
High winds blew the roof off an eastern Illinois lumber yard, sending debris through a nearby auto dealership. Also, 60-mph winds blew trucks off highways near Effingham and Champaign, but authorities said there were no immediate reports of injuries.
In Missouri, the Washington County Sheriff's Department said there were reports of a tornado touching down near Richwoods, about 65 miles southwest of St. Louis. No damage was immediately reported.
Flash flooding forced highways closed in Missouri and Minnesota, where a storm caused widespread damage in Park Rapids and an unincorporated town north of it called Emmaville.
No serious injuries were reported.
"Right now, I can tell you we've been fortunate," Sheriff Gary Mills said.
Susan Vessey said she's lived on the shore of the lake for 40 years and has never seen a storm like Friday's. "It was too fast to be scared," she said. Trees fell on her deck and roof, but there wasn't any damage to the inside of her house.
In Indiana, Gov. Mitch Daniels declared 41 counties disaster areas -- the first step to gain federal aid -- after severe storms and tornadoes. One person was killed and at least 10 injured in the round of storms this week.

Daniels wore a hard hat as he toured a tornado-ravaged apartment complex in Indianapolis on Friday.
"No matter how many times I see it, I'm constantly amazed and awed by the human sprit and the spirit of compassion that characterizes our state," Daniels said.

Re:
[quote="KWT"]Still got tornado warnings coming out, not sure why its so queit in here lol!
It gets pretty old just seeing a bunch of 'cut & paste' Meso discussions, watches and warnings, and having to scroll and scoll through all that junk.
Most of us here are well aware of what's going on, i.e. watches, warnings, meso discussions, etc.
Hopefully, people and lurkers are not relying on the cut and paste info most post here from the NWS for their "real time" info.....get a weather radio!

Re: June 4-7: Severe weather outbreak
Minor tornado or microburst damage is being reported in Albion, MI, about 45 minutes south of Lansing.
http://www.battlecreekenquirer.com/apps ... 60031/1002
My in-laws live in the area, and they said it sounded like people always say tornadoes sound right before they hit. They had a part of a large cherry tree come down and hit the side of their house, but seem to have otherwise escaped damage.

Re: June 4-7: Severe weather outbreak
today looks as or more active than yesterday, but a bit further west, across the corn belt. deep tropical moisture is returning north rapidly, with dewpoints soaring into the low and mid-70s across most of the midwest. with at least partial sunshine, it will become very unstable by mid-day. shear is still quite good across the area, and yesterday's cap is more or less gone.
the quality of low-level moisture underneath good directional and speed shear suggest numerous supercells will form today, and many of them will be capable of tornadoes from eastern NE to WI. wet microbursts seem look a pretty good possibility too.
of perhaps equal concern will be flooding through the weekend as storms train over the same area. the last few high-res runs of the WRF are putting out widespread 3-5" rainfall totals over parts of iowa and wisconsin, with localized 7-10" amounts, as well. this, on top of the recent heavy rain, will probably create major flooding across the region.
the speed shear isn't as impressive sunday, but i still think there will be quite a few tornadoes over roughly the same area, as there will be numerous outflow boundaries around to enhance low-level shear.
the hyperactive severe wx pattern should continue much of next week across the plains, midwest and ohio valley.

Well, things are starting to get interesting around here. There are a lot of warnings popping up, mostly north of Madison, right now.
It is very hot here, and the humidity is oppressive. The sun's out, too, so I'm thinking things are going to be popping up quite a bit over the next couple of hours.

Re: June 4-7: Severe weather outbreak
i live on the north shore of lake monona, and the winds have really picked up in the last half hour - out of the south-southeast. the storms to our north seem to be forming some sort of meso-low, which is causing winds to back a bit. basically, that's just gonna enhance the low-level helicity and contribute to the development of tornadoes along this line. we're really gonna have to watch the storm over southwest wisconsin, as it will come very close to madison near or a bit after 3.
its pretty rare for us to see such high humidity this early in the year. normally, it happens in july and august when the corn crop is big and healthy. and i agree, it's oppressive!

I somehow feel better with someone else from Madison on the board today!
I'm on the far east side. Winds here aren't too bad. The watches just got extended now.My parents went down into Rock county to work outside at my sister's. This was against my advice. Heck, I am supposed to be going somewhere around 3:00 but I'm deciding to stay home until things calm.

winds are always a little stronger right on the lake. gusting close to 50 now. some small limbs are falling (and laying next to the ones that fell yesterday).
that storm is now bowing out to our north - it's going to produce a swath of major damage perhaps even into the eastern half of dane county and probably into much of SE WI.
i'm also really worried about flooding that could near what we saw last august. what a crazy year for weather.

East side of Madison, WI. Stuff right now looks to be passing to the north of here by a county.
Yeah it is, you could be under the gun later though.
