The National Weather Service has released damage assessment survey results after teams were sent out today to study the impact of Monday’s severe storms.

NWS says three tornadoes touched down in south central and east central Iowa along with widespread straight line winds, and one of the tornadoes did in fact hit northern Adair County.

According to survey data, the tornado started about 3.9 miles southeast of Casey at approximately 12:42 Monday afternoon.  The tornado then went 7.5 miles southeast, ending about 5.4 miles south, southwest of Stuart at approximately 12:50.

This tornado had an estimated peak wind of 100 miles per hour and produced its worst damage towards the end of its life southwest of Stuart, where a house and several outbuildings were heavily damaged or destroyed.

At its strongest point, this Adair County tornado was confirmed to have an EF-1 rating.

The National Weather Service says Madison County and Tama County also had tornadic events Monday afternoon.

The storm survey results are preliminary and subject to change pending final review of these events and publication in National Weather Service storm data.
