MORE CONFIRMED TORNADOES...

Saturday evening's storms produced two tornadoes - they what's called QLCS tornadoes. QLCS stands for quasi-linear convective system. It's when there's a spin up embedded in a line of storms (usually in the front of the line). These tornadoes are usually brief and weak, but sometimes can be on the stronger side. The two tornadoes were around Oakville, Iowa just west of the Mississippi.

Both tornadoes were rated EF-2. Here's a look at the damage via the National Weather Service in the Quad Cities:
