Destructive warning

 

[nfrine]

It started just east of the corner of 86th and Douglas in Urbandale. Lots of tree's and fences down. Couple of homes had their roofs taken to the rafters. Some tree's that didn't go down took a hair cut. Not Oklahoma City type of stuff.......but damage none the less.

The DSM Dome is beginning to crack....

That was the greenest I have seen the sky in some time.

It smells funny outside. What is the smell in Ankeny? Smells kind of like rain, but a little different.

Brimstone and sulfur, the gates of hell has opened.

Can hear the sirens in the county south of me.

There was no formal warning..............but you could tell this was different by the way the clouds were moving. Almost like looking up at a large slow moving whirlpool coming your way.

Fortunate it was weak enough at ground level or there would have been injuries.

Our house in Ankeny ended up with 0.8 inches of rain. Not as much as I was hoping for, but I'll take it. Grateful there was no storm damage.

 

[stormchaser2014]

It got dark quick.

 

[BigJCy]

Overall was pretty fortunate I think. Was amazed our power didn't go out. I am getting sick and tired of cleaning up branches again but if that is the worst of it this storm season I will consider myself lucky.

2.5” seems to be the average across the CR metro.

No wonder the women there always leave town to find men.

 

[stormchaser2014]

That was kind of meh to be honest. Definitely no 80mph winds.

THE CARS JUST DRIVING

 

[ISUAgronomist]

Dead/dying ash trees in background still standing. Always sucks to see that but no/very limited canopy gives them a pass when the beautiful trees get whacked!

 

[CRcyclone6]

2.5” seems to be the average across the CR metro.

Did it rain last night? I had 4 inches in mine.

This some bullsh*t

I had 1.05” digital and 1.2” analog. That’s the first time time year I’ve seen a difference. It was quick and sideways.

Oh hooray. Now my family's dealing with this.

 

[KnappShack]

Oh hooray. Now my family's dealing with this.

The NWS said there's so much rotation they can't issue a warning for each.

At least that's what WGN said. Tom Skilling is missed. Some Max Velocity channel on YouTube is beating WGN with coverage

 

[Gunnerclone]

Oh hooray. Now my family's dealing with this.

Be careful they are spinning up like crazy all along that line.
