Power out at least half hour now in Granger. Neighbors fence and play set blown down

Power has been out for 35 mins here in Waukee. We back up to Sugar Creek Golf Course and the players scrambled pretty darn quickly.

Hate to do it but uh, can I get my golf balls back from the last 3 years?

Just had a nasty storm go through West Ames. Lost a big branch of our maple and a large section of a neighbor's tree just fell onto our in-ground pool. Hoping for no damage to the cover.

Got dark and heard the siren about an hour ago. Lots of rumbling. Sounded like a train in the distance for most of the last hour. Very scary. Seems to be calming down now.

Yeah it got really dark when that storm rolled through WDM to the point the street lights came on. Wife working from home in Grimes says neighbor across the street has a gutter that came off their house and another has some tree damage. Some emergency vehicles on the street behind us but can't see through the houses enough to see why they are there.

Our neighborhood in Ankeny is pretty trashed. Lots of trees down, lots of sheds destroyed. 2 seperate trampolines bounced off our house. Our fences are trashed, at least we get a new one.

We had half of a big maple come down and 3 pine trees completely uprooted in a storm a couple years ago. Keeping an eye on that maple right now. Can see one broken branch, but so far the brave bastard is hanging in there.

Radar looking like a 100 mile long thunderstorm freight-training down Hwy 20.

Got to go outside and look at things. Only small branches landed on the pool cover. However, it took out two sections of our fence. The branch fell into our yard, but the fence fell toward the neighbor's. Probably means that the posts were rotted and are now broken. Time for another crappy fix-it job by yours truly.

We got that about 2 weeks ago in Clarence one evening. Trees down, damaged buildings etc. Hope this one misses us this time.

Guess we need better anchors for our trampoline, all 4 straps failed.. Luckily it just tumbled into the corn field behind our house & didn't hit any houses.

That was crazy. I thought my office windows (Johnston) were going to blow out. They were vibrating pretty bad. Power is out at my house on the south side of DSM.

 

[Entropy]

Living on the West side of CR, guess I get to watch it come in.

 

[Cycsk]

The college football gods are angry!

Pics or link? Somebody told me something similar.

My kids playset blew into the fence into the neighbor's yard. Also lost half of my front tree.

We just bought a trampoline and I contemplated putting it up yesterday but didn’t because I wanted to get some ground anchors in first.

 

[wxman1]

Well we just got a new roof, siding and gutters so here we go.

In storms like this how long is the power usually out?
