Mild Thunderstorms, Nice Visuals

A non-imposing line of thunderstorms (strength-wise) on Monday, August 29, 2016 were still visually gratifying as seen from Eastern Iowa. The four posted images today were captured from Bowman Meadows housing development in Marion, Iowa. The above panoramic image looking southeast shows the line of storms at 4:18 pm CDT. The line stretched some 60 miles. The left portion of the line was about 46 miles distant, the right, 36 miles.
