Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
222 AM CDT SUN JUN 15 2008
.DISCUSSION...
COMPLICATED AND VERY HAZARDOUS DAY AHEAD AS WE BATTLE BOTH SEVERE
WEATHER AND FLOODING. ONGOING SEVERE WEATHER EVENT IN NORTHERN
IOWA WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD SOUTHEAST DURING THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS. THIS EVENT WILL EFFECT THE POTENTIAL THIS AFTERNOON...BUT
IT IS UNCLEAR HOW. THE BEST FORECAST ASSUMPTION AT THIS TIME IS
THAT IT WILL ENHANCE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY OVER THE SOUTHERN 1/2 OF THE CWA. WE ARE VERY PRONE TO
FLASH FLOODING FOR MULTIPLE REASONS...INCLUDING SATURATION...BUT
ALSO WITH MANY LEVIES AT RISK...AND RAINFALL AND SEVERE STORMS
EXPECTED...WE WILL NEED TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR AREAS
ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80 TODAY INTO EARLY EVENING. WE ARE
IN MODERATE RISK FROM SPC...AND MANY PARAMETERS WILL FAVOR SEVERE
WEATHER THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON.
NO CHANGES MADE TO OTHER PERIODS BEYOND MONDAY. IT LOOKS LIKE
QUIET AND COOLER WEATHER FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND THEN STORMY WEATHER
BY LATE WEEK.
..ERVIN..

.AVIATION...
THUNDERSTORMS WITH ASSOCIATED MVFR AND IFR CONDITIONS WILL IMPACT
THE DBQ AND CID TERMINALS AS DEVELOPING ELEVATED MCS PROPAGATES
SOUTHEASTWARD OUT OF NORTH CENTRAL IA THIS MORNING. INCREASING LLVL
JET AT 3-5K FEET FROM 240 DEGREES ADDING TURBULENCE AS WELL THIS
MORNING AT MOST TERMINALS. BRL TO BE VFR THROUGH MIDDAY...BUT THEN
THE CID...MLI AND BRL TERMINALS UNDER THE GUN FOR MORE THUNDERSTORM
COMPLEXES AND IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS BY 18Z AND THROUGH 02Z THIS
EVENING. DBQ TO CLEAR OUT TO VFR AND BE NORTH OF THE ACTIVITY AFTER
23Z. GUSTY SFC WINDS FROM 210-240 DEGREES TODAY TO VEER TO THE
NORTHWEST WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE AT MOST SITES AFTER 05Z TONIGHT.
..12..
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
NO MAJOR CHANGES MADE TO ONGOING MAJOR AND RECORD FLOODING. THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR BOTH RAIN POTENTIAL AND THE
POSSIBILITY OF LEVY FAILURES AND BREACHES.
FROM THE PREVIOUS AFD...A HISTORIC HYDROLOGIC EVENT CONTINUES
UNFOLDING WITH UNPRECEDENTED IMPACTS AT MANY LOCATIONS ALONG THE
LARGER RIVERS AND STREAMS IN EASTERN IOWA. MAJOR TO RECORD
FLOODING IS ONGOING...OR FORECAST...IN THESE LOCATIONS AS WELL AS
AT MANY LOCATIONS ON THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER ESPECIALLY DOWNSTREAM
OF THE QUAD CITIES. MODERATE TO MAJOR FLOODING IS EXPECTED ON THE
ROCK RIVER IN NORTHWEST ILLINOIS. ..ERVIN..

THESE STORMS WILL THEN LOOK TO MOVE SOUTHEAST AND IMPACT AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 80 CORRIDOR THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT. WIND SHEAR IN THE ATMOSPHERE COMBINED WITH AFTERNOON HEATING AND INSTABILITY WILL ALLOW FOR SOME OF THESE STORMS TO POSSIBLY PRODUCE SEVERE WEATHER IN THE FORM OF DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL.

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80 FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER IS FORECASTING A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA SUNDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE AREA DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING SUNDAY. THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY TO FORM ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON...AND QUICKLY MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO ILLINOIS. SOME OF THESE STORMS MAY PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL...AND POSSIBLY BRIEF HEAVY RAIN. ANY LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN TOTALS OVER 1 INCH MAY CAUSE FLASH FLOODING WHERE THE GROUND IS ALREADY SATURATED. MAJOR TO RECORD FLOODING WILL CONTINUE ON THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND MOST TRIBUTARY RIVERS. DETAILED INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND IN THE LATEST FLOOD STATEMENT PRODUCT. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
