Sure feels like **** could get crazy in Marion. Warm and humid.

Nah, you will have lost the heating by the time it gets there with it being dark now.

I took that as a positive thing. The storm forming a long widespread line usually means less risk of violent tornadoes.

Maybe I misunderstood. If so then apologies to Gunner.

 

[Sigmapolis]

Looks like the NW suburbs (e.g., me over in Waukee) missed most of it.

Maybe. But it was never warm today in central Iowa.

Des Moines was briefly, south of there did. Ames no, but we also likely won’t see the bad stuff in story county

That track pointing towards ankeny at one point had me a bit worried, but thankfully someone turned the deflector on

 

[Gunnerclone]

Well you got it. I know you don't wish people harm but these kinds of posts are annoying when we're staring down the barrel of one of these things coming our way.

Not lined up to produce tornadoes. Lined up in an LCS where tornadoes are less likely, less damaging, and shorter.

My bad. Should have known better.

broad but powerful rotation. This thing could drop a mean one if it wanted to. Good thing is farther east the less unstable air. Im surprised they've lasted this long

 

[stormchaser2014]

Oh ****, had no idea what was going on out there.

 

[Frak]

That was a nasty storm in western iowa. Tornadoes all over.

 

[ClonerJams]

Can a weather guru on here explain how the **** this happened with the mild temps we had today? Seems odd

 

[Cyclonepride]

Tornado near The Tornado.

My son lives really close to there but I texted him and he’s visiting a buddy down in Indianola

Seems like the storm carried some of its own energy with it. Went from pretty cool here to pretty humid leading up to the storm

 

[cowgirl836]

Oh ****, had no idea what was going on or there.

I don't think spc was awake today. Idk, I looked this morning and it was some orange. Doesn't seem like "likely multiple F5s" was on the menu

I'm no meteorologist but barometric pressure and stuff.

Massive tornado looking North headed out of Harlan. My family farm to a big hit. Everyone is OK. Lots of tree damage, shingles and tin tore of house and barn. House just 1/2 mile SW of her…gone!!

Cyclone on the watertower and one on the ground.

Nice “double” cyclone!

Saw this about the tornado in West Omaha/Elkhorn/Bennington.
