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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
646 AM EDT TUE OCT 26 2010
.AVIATION...
LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MOVG E/NE AROUND 50KT ACROSS IL AHEAD
OF A STRONG CDFNT. STRONG WINDS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY FURTHER WITH
FRONTAL/SQUALL LINE PASSAGE THIS MORNING WITH FLYING CONDITIONS
LOWERING TO MVFR OR PSBLY BRIEFLY IFR THIS MORNING. VERY STRONG
WINDS SHOULD CONT THIS AFTN BEHIND THE FRONT AND THEN DIMINISH
THIS EVE AS DIURNAL COOLING ALLOWS FOR A DECREASE IN
MIXING...OTRWS VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THIS AFTN AND TONIGHT.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 436 AM EDT TUE OCT 26 2010/
SHORT TERM...
TODAY AND TONIGHT.
..POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WEATHER SITUATION TODAY...
AS HAS BEEN ADVERTISED FOR SEVERAL DAYS...LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN
MINNESOTA THIS MORNING WILL CONTINUE TO RAPIDLY INTENSIFY AS 200+ KT
JET STREAK ROUNDS THE BASE OF THE TROUGH. A WELL DEFINED LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS HAS BEEN TAKING SHAPE OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS FROM
WESTERN ILLINOIS SOUTHWEST INTO ARKANSAS. THE STRONGEST CELLS HAVE
BEEN IN THE NORTHERN PORTIONS CLOSER TO THE SFC LOW/TRIPLE POINT
AREA. WIND FIELDS CONTINUE TO INCREASE AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM.
CHALLENGES THROUGH EARLY EVENING WILL INVOLVE WIND GUST POTENTIAL
AND HIGH TEMPS AHEAD OF THE SQUALL LINE...STRENGTH AND TIMING OF
SQUALL LINE AND THEN POST FRONTAL HIGH WINDS.
MODELS TO SOME EXTENT OR ANOTHER AGREE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
EVOLVING SQUALL LINE. TIMING AND LOCATIONS ISSUE ABOUND BUT LOCAL
WRF AND 4KM SPC WRF SEEM TO HAVE DECENT HANDLES ON THE IDEA...SAVE
FOR A FEW HOURS TOO SLOW IN FORMATION. THE LINE SHOULD RACE
EAST..REACHING FAR WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA IN THE 12 TO 14Z
TIME FRAME. SPC HAS UPGRADED GENERALLY THE ENTIRE CWA TO A HIGH RISK
FOR SEVERE STORMS WITH THE FOCUS ON WIDESPREAD SIG WIND DAMAGE AS
WELL AS A FEW STRONG TORNADOES. A TORNADO WATCH HAS JUST BEEN ISSUED
FOR THE WESTERN HALF OR SO OF THE FORECAST AREA. INSTABILITY WILL
BE ON THE LOWER SIDE /LI'S -1 TO -3 C/ BUT GIVEN EXTREME DYNAMICS
AND WIND FIELDS EXPECTED...EXPECT WINDS OF 60 TO 70 MPH OR GREATER
WITH THIS LINE...ESPECIALLY IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN SECTIONS WHERE AT
LEAST SOME CHANCE FOR A BIT OF HEATING. RISK OF TORNADOES WILL
MAINLY EXIST IN 1) DISCRETE CELLS AHEAD OF THE LINE OR 2) ANY LEWP
SIGNATURES ALONG THE LINE. GRIDS HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED TO ADD MENTION
OF ISOLATED TORNADOES AS WELL AS ADD SOME TIMING RESOLUTION.
IN TERMS OF GRADIENT WINDS...WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT MAY STRUGGLE
TO REACH WARNING CRITERIA...BUT CLOSE ENOUGH TO LET WARNING RIDE AS
WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 KTS NOT THAT FAR OFF THE SURFACE. BETTER
CHANCE OF SEEING MUCH STRONGER WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT AS SOME PEAKS
OF SUNSHINE SHOULD OCCUR AND BETTER LINKING OF WIND FIELDS TO ALLOW
FOR GUSTS OF 60 MPH OR MORE. AFTER COORDINATION HAVE EXPANDED
WARNING TO ENTIRE FORECAST AREA.
WINDS WILL SLACK SOMEWHAT TONIGHT...AT LEAST INTO ADVISORY CRITERIA
AND POSSIBLY LOW ENOUGH TO ALLOW A CONTINUATION OF NO HEADLINES
EXCEPT FOR ALONG THE LAKESHORE. WILL LET DAY SHIFT MONITOR TRENDS
AND ADJUST AS NEEDED. LOWS OVERNIGHT WILL DROP INTO THE 40S.
LONG TERM...
INTENSE AND EXCEPTIONALLY DEEP LOW WILL BE CENTERED OVER SWRN
ONTARIO AT START OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD WED MORNING WITH UPR LEVEL
>130KT JET STREAM OVER OUR CWA. STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT WITH
UNIDIRECTIONAL WSW WIND FIELD OVER OUR AREA WILL RESULT IN A DEEP
MIXED LAYER DVLPG DURING THE DAY ALLOWING 50KT GUSTS TO MIX DOWN TO
THE SFC...THUS HAVE ISSUED A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR WED. WK WAA AHEAD
OF SECONDARY TROF/FRONT APCHG THE AREA DURING THE DAY SHOULD ALLOW
FOR UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPS ONCE AGAIN WITH HIGHS IN THE M-U60S.
CONTINUED WITH A CHC OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE NRN PORTION OF CWA FOR
WED NGT AND THU AS WRAP AROUND MOISTURE AND STRONGER CAA OVERSPREAD
THE AREA. INVERSION RATHER LOW AND STRONG WLY WINDS SUGGEST LAKE
EFFECT POTENTIAL LOW DESPITE DELTA T'S INCREASING TO AROUND 20C, SO
STILL EXPECT SHOWER THREAT TO MOVE OUT OF THE AREA BY THU EVE AS
DEEPER MOISTURE EXITS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA FRIDAY
PROVIDING FAIR WX. GFS CONTS WITH A LITTLE SLOWER EXIT OF COLD
AIRMASS SO KNOCKED HIGHS DOWN A COUPLE DEGREES FROM PREVIOUS FCST,
BUT STILL INDICATING BEGINNING OF A WARMING TREND.
LATEST MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONT TO DIVERGE ON SOLUTIONS IN THE DAY
5-7 TIMEFRAME WITH ECMWF/GEM SUGGESTING A CONTD WARMUP OVER THE
WEEKEND WHILE GFS MAINTAINS A DEEPER NERN U.S. UPR TROF ALLOWING A
BACKDOOR CDFNT TO SLIP THROUGH THE AREA WITH COOLER ELY FLOW BY
SUNDAY. IN EITHER CASE LOOKS LIKE LITTLE CHC OF RAIN, SO FOR NOW
CONTD WITH PREVIOUS GRIDS FOR SAT-MON WHICH IS GENERALLY PC SKIES
WITH TEMPS NEAR CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMALS.
