Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado 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.

SOME SEVERE STORMS TODAY WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS AS THE

THUNDERSTORMS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE ON
FRIDAY NIGHT WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS AS THE MAIN THREAT.
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAIN CLOSE TO THE FORECAST AREA ON SATURDAY
SO SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. BY SATURDAY

NIGHT AND SUNDAY. THERE WILL AGAIN BE A THREAT OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS ON SATURDAY NIGHT AND INTO SUNDAY WITH LARGE HAIL
