Strong storms moved through the Midwest on Thursday bringing widespread winds and rain.
Based in St. Louis, National Weather Service Meteorologist Patrick Walsh says northeast Missouri had up to 3 inches of rain with widespread 1-inch rains north of I-70 across Missouri and into Illinois. He says there was some storm damage from high winds, that reached up to 80 miles per hour.
“We didn’t see much hail. There were a few reports of tornadoes in west-central Illinois and a few in southern Iowa.”
Walsh says the event is a typical, strong summertime storm.
