The Perry stormwater sewer system was supercharged with rain water Tuesday, which backed up in intersections and along gutters before draining away after the storm.
Non-severe scattered thunderstorms are possible over central Iowa Tuesday night and Wednesday, but severe weather is not expected.
The National Weather Servic office in Johnston issued a special weather statement 3:44 p.m. Tuesday, indicating that current atmospheric conditions support the development of funnel clouds.
Usually, these funnel clouds can form from showers and weak thunderstorms, the NWS statement said. These funnels are normally brief, drop only a few hundred feet from the cloud base and rarely become a tornado or cause damage.
However, if you spot one, please immediately report it to the National Weather Service at 515-270-2614. If a tornado warning would become necessary, take appropriate action.
