These photos were taken of my parents back yard after storms ripped through Urbana, Iowa.
It was around 7:15 AM, June 19th, 2009 when the outdoors seemed to explode in a violent storm.
Apparently, there was no official tornado reported, and the mess was the results of serious "straight-line winds"
Many trees had been blown down around this small town just off of I-380...around 22 miles northwest of Cedar Rapids.
There were many large, heavy branches littering the yard.
I currently live in Chicago, and every time I've come to visit my home town, there's always insane, and often violent weather happening!
