+----------------------------------------------
It has already been a year since a night time tornado ripped through downtown Iowa City causing millions of dollars of damage, but thankfully, no deaths. Unfortunately, there was a death from a different Eastern Iowa tornado that evening. Here are some links to various resources on the event: <a href="http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/6891347.html">KCRG-TV</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=iowa%20city%20tornado&w=all">Flickr</a>, the IEM's <a href="http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/cases/060413/">archive of images</a>, and an excellent page on the <a href="http://www.icpl.org/tornado/">Iowa City Public Library</a> website. Don't forget about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Week_2006_Tornado_Outbreak_Sequence">Wikipedia</a> either.
