Wild Video of Hurricane-Force Winds Pounding Cedar Rapids, Iowa

An intense storm system has brought severe winds to Iowa as new video shows hurricane-force winds that pounded the Cedar Rapids, Iowa area Monday.

A few days ago, I shared the weather models that predicted strong winds and even derechos would be possible in Iowa and Illinois this week. Today, that prediction came true. Weather Nation just shared this crazy video of what happened when the system moved through Cedar Rapids, Iowa Monday evening.

This is a developing weather situation with multiple tornado warnings not just in Iowa but now in parts of Illinois as this system continues to move eastward. As this is a developing story, it will be updated once new information is released and once damage is assessed in both Iowa and Illinois.
