Destructive warning.

They've called the crest in Ft. Dodge today instead of tomorrow. Just under 16ft instead of 19.

Saw a few other rivers did in eastern Iowa.

Wonder if vegetation along the rivers was overlooked to stamp it down some.

 

[madguy30]

Welp.

And Twister is on Syfy.

Sitting on my deck in Waukee near the Dallas/Polk border looking west.

One hell of a light show going on.

Gotta be cool to be a meteorologist here in the Twin Cities. This made me chuckle.

Was in that last night. Tried camping for the first time and was along the north shore. At least the tent was waterproof!

This isn't gonna be a fun night over the metro, huh

Well ****. I'd enjoy getting good sleep, but I tend to not do that in bad weather nights.

Was heavy rain out west. If a cell parks on you, expect to get a lot.

Doesn't look like it will be a problem. Whatever was holding.things in place seems to have broke loose. Storms pretty much blew right through most of the metro.

Feels like that's the story of a lot of storms lately. Look nasty then start to fall apart a few miles west of the metro

Yeah, 0.07” inches of severe devastation recorded by my weather station while I slept. Must have been brutal.

 

[FerShizzle]

Must have gotten windy in Ankeny last night. I lost a big branch on one of my maple trees.

 

[CloneFanInKC]

Southern KC had a strong front come through around 3am. Strong wind, hail and 1.25-1.5” of rain by 4:30.

 

[ackatch]

Well - we ended up with about 1" of rain.

Sorry dude!

Sorry dude!

I am sitting pretty. I still have a truck and a home. Neighbors a mile west dont have homes. Tornado in April.
