Thunderstorms erupted the evening of July 19th, along a stationary front that was draped across southern Iowa. The storms quickly moved south into north central Missouri. The storms took on a supercell character, due to strong directional and speed shear, coupled with unstable atmospheric conditions. An initial report of a funnel cloud was received just before 9 pm north of Mercer, Missouri, with numerous reports of funnel clouds, tornadoes, and wind damage.f the photographs. Emergency managem
