Jim Bishop and Mark McGowan left Houston, TX the afternoon of Friday November 11, 2005. A strengthening shortwave-through was forecasted to move across the Central Plains during the day Saturday; a decent chance for the formation of low-topped supercells and tornadoes seemed possible across Western and Central Iowa during the late afternoon on Saturday. Jim and Mark made a pit-stop in Norman and continued to Central Iowa.

Jim and Mark documented multiple low-topped supercells, 4 tornadoes (one large and destructive tornado), high winds and hail across Western and Central Iowa Saturday afternoon.

A chase account will be posted later.
