A thunderstorm complex erupted over Eastern Nebraska Sunday afternoon and quickly moved southeast to St Louis over night.  Many folks in Southwest Iowa caught a great look at a shelf cloud which is the cloud feature on the forward push of cooler and more dense air. Winds gusted up to 70 mph with this storm.
