High winds, heavy rain, large hail, and even tornadoes hit the Quad Cities area Tuesday night.
Dave Cousins, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Davenport, says one confirmed tornado touched down near McAusland in northern Scott County, and moved northeast into Clinton County - it had maximum winds of 85 miles per hour.
Cousins says hail in the Quad Cities measured up to one inch in diameter, but there were reports in southeast Iowa of hail the size of tennis balls - measuring up to 2 1/2 inches.
The National Weather Service says rainfall Tuesday night ranged from just a tenth or two of an inch, up to two full inches in Scott and Clinton counties - but the official total, as measured at the Quad City Airport in Moline, was just half an inch.
