I had to leave early , did the T-Birds finish with the high Bomb Burst? Looked like they were doing the high show otherwise, despite the scattered clouds.

According to the US National Weather Service Quad Cities Iowa/Illinois, a EF-0 tornado on June 24th that occurred from 10:31-10:45 PM missed the Davenport Municipal Airport and the Quad City Air Show by 50 yards. Luickly, it was weak and there was no damage to any airplanes on site. The only reported damage happened to the vendors booths, chalet tents, and porta-potties.
