The warning has hit DSM. Just a possibility warning though, nothing confirmed yet

It’s been cloudy all day here in Ames. High humidity but hopefully it did help prevent heating of the atmosphere.

About 15-20 minutes ago in the J Creek area was some of the hardest winds I’ve heard at the office. Saw the news say 75mph

Sounds like from Ryan Halls stream that there is a tornado on the ground in Grimes area I think. In the dead zone of the radar so hard to see. Trying to confirm though.

The winds just picked up here in north Ankeny.

Very dark.

Had some brief high winds that have already died down but don't think it was a tornado

Yeah, it was not messing around. I went straight to the basement.
