Cumulus Tower From Hiawatha

This isolated cumulus tower made for a beautiful sight on Wednesday morning, May 7, 2014 as seen at 8:24 AM CDT from near Progress Drive and Martha's Way in Hiawatha, Iowa. The cloud tops on this small cell rose to 35-40,000 feet. The cell was located about 10 miles away in southeast Linn County. The cloud was a precursor to severe weather in much of the state the following day.
