Please stay safe
Damn I hope nothing serious happens there. We’re supposed to get up to 65 mph winds here. I think I’ve got stuff tied down and went the other day and got some fuel.
Stay safe guys!!!
Yep. It will be here in 10 min or so. This radar was at 7:15. I live in Waterloo.
Be safe folks. This is crazy.
Some damage from this storm but nothing like last week down south.
83 MPH wind gusts in Mason City.
2 warnings right now
Time for a drink. I think Peppermint schnapps is in order.
Good luck my brothers from other mothers.
100,000 people in the state without power.
Headed north and west
Be safe

Wow,
Good reason to have a generator and some fuel on hand. At least the temp is up for now.

Wow look at how long that hook is....that’s a big storm
One thing I will say is the warning systems have really stepped up their game in predicting these storms. Maybe to the point that people may take the warnings for granted. Very early today I saw them predicting these storms for tonight.

Yes sir,, The storm came over my house at 4:13 on the nose. dark as night, 80mph + wind and a tornado was headed our way as well. Living 3 miles west of Fort Calhoun, Nebraska. I anxiously watched the forest, and my shed with the cars ... winds, That black cloud looked like the scene in Independance day, when the ships entered the atmosphere.. one wide row from horizon to horizon.
But by 4:30 it had headed to Iowa and continued to cause havoc.
All is good though, that is one tough building! My home is in between three hills, so we have a bit more shelter. no damage, but some nervous dogs!

I drove home through the storm, I was north and west of the are that got the tornado warning, but the lightning was a spectacular sight, and goofy with snow on the ground. The wind made my ride home "bumpy", and the rain was pretty intense a couple of times. I was out in the country, and knew the road so I was fine. If I hadn't of known the road, it would have sucked. It moved so fast, it was over in 15 minutes. Still windy though.

It be a lot cooler if you did...
I'm in the center part of Illinois. They have been warning us for a couple days about this **** coming. They say the real nasty stuff will stay north of us but the winds could reach 70 mph plus. Everybody stay safe out there!!!
Crazy weather for sure
