Looking forward to some decent supercells in eastern Iowa, Erik and Karl head to Davenport to wait the developing storms. However thanks to a heavy cap at 4000ft the storm chase was killed before it even began.
The only storms we got to enjoy were some garden style storms in Rockford when we got back.
