Your not kidding that looks like a large tornado heading towards Omaha. My brother lives in Cheynne though and they have 8" of snow, yikes.
Tornado Watch just issued for most of the I-35 Corridor... http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/ww0145.html?z=1399855287.16
Tornado warning ended about 10-15 minutes ago for Omaha metro. Reports of 70+ mph wind in West/NW Omaha

Red dots are storm chasers... RT @EverythingWX: Just a few chasers playing the warm front up north. Wow.
Does anyone know how to pull that screen up on Radarscope app?
Drove through the worst of it in SC Iowa Today neat Osky. Was about 10 miles north of the Funnel Cloud near Ottumwa. Had to pull over during the thick of it.
Were you there on purpose, or just traveling through? My parents live in New Sharon.
Got pretty dicey around here in NW Lincoln. Out west the storm was going NE then turned E then right before Lincoln it turned NE again and headed towards Omaha. Have had plenty of wind and rain this evening. Sirens went of in my neighborhood 2x- sure glad this spring the city decided to put a siren about a block away from the crib- found out tonite that shiz will wake you up from a dead sleep if a storm rolls up in the middle of the night- which, in its own way, is very comforting.
Edit: When I was outside watching stuff- I can see the main road from my deck and it looked like a convoy of storm chasing vehicles just lined up waiting to figure where to go next. Or maybe they wanted the "money shot" as we live kinda on a top of a ridge and have a good vantage point to the north/northwest.

The Perry/Boone area is next up. But the part that looks the worst is spinning at the bottom (SW corner of IA) and is looking to hit the DSM Metro. It's a bow and its starting to spin and that's not comforting. Should be quite a show though.
edit: The Weather Channel is spending most of their time analyzing our entire state. I've been watching fro about 20 min.

Especially when it makes me lose sleep...
Turn to the Weather Channel if you want to see it. They have someone in Stuart and it looks like hell.
Yeah you're right. I thought the first forecast they had had it going to DSM. Now the new one has it moving north
