I have not looked closely at models or forecasts, but Iowa is only included in the general thunderstorm outline for Wednesday, per the SPC. Apparently they do not believe the ingredients are there for, or have very low confidence in, any severe weather occurring.

Upgraded to a Marginal risk. Any further upgrades hinge on the thermodynamics improving from current forecasts.

See honey, I didn't not put christmas lights up because I was lazy, it was because of the always present threat of extreme weather.Gonna be a bad night for Christmas lights
The derecho damaged my tree pretty bad; I asked my adjuster if insurance would pay for the removal of my tree, but he told me 'homeowners insurance is reactive, not preventative' so I had to pay to have it removed myself. I am guessing insurance would pay for damage, regardless if a tree was already damaged. That might just be my insurance company though.So glad that I got our huge tree in our backyard taken down earlier this spring. It got topped out in a couple places from the derecho in 2020 so we decided to get the rest of it taken down. For all those people that have dead limbs in trees from the derecho yet, I wonder if insurance would cover any damage that resulted from them causing damage. I would think they wouldn't as they would be considered a preexisting type of potential damage. Just a guess though.
We were told if the tree had any damage before a storm clean-up would not be covered...The derecho damaged my tree pretty bad; I asked my adjuster if insurance would pay for the removal of my tree, but he told me 'homeowners insurance is reactive, not preventative' so I had to pay to have it removed myself.
