[NWICY]

Neighbor across the way is currently trying to assemble a wooden swing set in his backyard. I have so many questions

Yeah, I think I would have waited a day or two for that.

Nephew's family just lost theirs and they live east of I-80 near Council Bluffs.

Debris signature over town of Exira. Yikes.

Polk county under a severe thunderstorm warning and it’s 3 counties away. Crazy how fast it’s moving.

70 MPH in Ames. Grain bin blown over near Kelley.

Who has empty grain bins at this point in the harvest/marketing cycle?

I should probably make a cooler in case the power goes out. Don't want to keep opening and closing the fridge.

If your power goes out just set it outside. I think the post storm temps are gonna be below freezing by midnight

I'm cashing out my 401k and buying some blow. Might as well go out big....

Saw Weather Channel has someone in Des Moines. He was at the Hampton Inn near the airport.

 

[cycloneshort]

Did he just start today?

If he had started earlier I could see rushing to try to get it closer to finished so it'd be more stable.

The backyard has had pieces scattered around for about 2 months…and he picks now to get it going again

While i'm sure it sucks no matter what, does a tornado moving 80mph do less damage over a given area due to not sitting on top of it for as long?

Grew up in SW Iowa, so I know where approximately that is, but otherwise saying East of I-80 would be confusing for many

Just got tornado warning on phone in Ames.

What’s the best site to follow this all on? Not that I’m judging the coverage here.
