| "...Friday afternoon [June 11, 2004], a
cold front and warm front collided right over Emmetsburg, IA. We
sent most of the [STT Iowa]
staff home and a few of us stood guard scanning the sky for about 5
hours. Funnel clouds were dropping all over the region and here are a few pictures. It was my very first time to actually see a funnel cloud drop from the sky and touch down. Typical winds average 150 mph. For those who've been through one they say you can't hear a thing other than the sound of a freight train. Who said the Midwest is boring?" Mike Scott,
