First thing I knew (I was taking a nap) was a text from @wxman1 that read "Get your asses to the basement". Good thing he did because our power AND internet were ou so we had no clue where things stood.

They do NOT need another one. I still remember what happened to them way back when (early 80s, I think). Towns should not have to go through that twice, let alone once.
In this clip you can see that tanker truck upright, but off the road, in the bushes.
Out in Urbandale working on getting power to houses that got their masts ripped out of meters. Lots of trees down, doesn’t look horrible otherwise, not from what I’ve seen anyway.
were south of stuart. Greenfield tornado essentially split between my place and highway 92. couldn’t see it from my place because rain was too hard
plenty of friends/family in greenfield.

I hope they're okay. I've only seen one fatality...a person in a car that got launched. Don't even know m/f, let alone name.
Good work @wxman1. We got the same message from a friend who follows the weather and those heads up messages are very much appreciated.
@ImJustKCClone how often does Consumers lose power?
Just checked radar.weather.gov and see a long stretch of red in your area moving slowly to the north/northeast. Yowza.
Thought things were cleared out and Amanda on NBC 15 told me to seek shelter and I couldn't say no to her so I'm back in the basement.
The way the radar is trending I might not even get anything.
I thought it funny when she said if you lose power, you can still stream us online. Um, no power = no internet.
Kid recognized her from when she visited his class. Said she lives in a hotel with the school counselor (her partner lol)
took a drive about 1/2 south of my place
