UPDATE: 6 p.m.
An EF-1 tornado was spotted north of Williamsburg in Iowa County and southwest of Cedar Rapids on Monday afternoon.
Minor damage was done to a cattle shelter on one farm and tree damage at another farm. A semi was also blown over on I-80.
There was also a second tornado on the south side of Cedar Rapids in Linn County, but there are no reports of damage from that funnel.
According to 3 News Now Meteorologist Joseph Meyer, this would be the first tornado in January in Iowa since 1967.
A view of the #tornado earlier this afternoon near Williamsburg. I was a little caught off guard how rapidly that escalated. #IAwx @NWSQuadCities @Iowasnewsnow pic.twitter.com/hnyXyhMFd0
