I don’t think anyone in Ankeny is getting missed by this one. Looks like a soaker.

We got sirens before we got rain! Just barely sprinkling now.

Ed Wilson is GOAT

He is such a goofy looking guy.

Finally switched from light rain to heavy rain in Ankeny

Just heavy rain in West DesMoines. Good thing I dumped some Milorganite on the lawn today.

Marble size hail coming down on the NW side of Ankeny now.

Kind of worried about the tornado warning by Maxwell. My race hauler is at a shop for routine maintenance by the intersection of highway 30/330. Looks like the storm is moving right toward it.

 

[ackatch]

Well that was fun.

Notice they renamed Iowa City Hellville. That seems appropriate.

I’ve become a channel 5 guy during storms. No over hyping, just dudes straight nerding out with analysis and really pinpointing exactly where the bad stuff is heading.
