The storm that came through Lincoln Saturday afternoon left more than homeowners' and business owners' worlds upside down. The eastbound stoplights on Keokuk crossing Logan also got spun around. Notice the left light is twisted and the right stoplight has the red on the bottom rather than the top.

The weather anomaly that produced near tornado-type winds of over 70 mph is called a "downdraft."

A pictorial of storm damage is below.
