We literally were! The sirens went off, but there was nothing about it on TV. So we went out to the deck and the clouds started swirling like nothing I have ever seen. We started to seriously think there would be a tornado so I sent the wife back in to check the TV again. Five seconds later I looked over my shoulder to the left and there it was!

Some awesome pictures. We were in West Des Moines and looking south looked nuts. Hope everybody is safe.

Bad *** pics!

What direction from Indianola was the tornado??

I live in Norwalk but am gone for the weekend and I just want to make sure my house is still standing when I get home.

It was going east about half a mile north of 92.

East or west side of town? My in-laws (and my dog, for the time being) live just across from the balloon field on 92.

I not sure how long it was on the ground. I just happened to look over and was like holy **** there is a tornado. I had about a minute or two to take the pics!

The should have the engines full bore going east on 92. I thought there was a tractor pull going on!

Great pics. I haven't seen a tornado on the ground since that wild day a few years back when weather delayed the start of the ISU/Colorado game. We were in the path going south on 17 to the game but not nearly as close as you. Didn't stop to get pics, that's for sure. Thanks for sharing.

That was some pretty crazy ****.. Power was out for about and hour and we were bailing water the whole time.. With no a/c, so I didn't even get to see the twister :(
