Campus town under the gun right now

I'm watching the sky and so far the bad stuff is splitting me

Daughter already out of Ames in up in my area, blessing she had to come home this week.

 

[BCClone]

why are there meetings on Friday afternoons. I cannot pretend to pay attention and keep up with weather stuff.

Do you actually pay attention on M-Th to meetings?

 

[mynameisjonas]

I’ve never seen a hail quantity like this, Ames just got hammered for 5-10 minutes. there are gonna be a lot of dinged up roofs and any car that’s outside is probably going to be damaged.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Velocity signature picking up right over Centerville, IA. Could be the next warning for Iowa.

 

[bsaltyman]

Tons of hail, pea size ish

My yard is full of probably marble sized and smaller hail.

 

[stateofmind]

Hopefully my sons car didn't get all dinged up. He just sent me video from his dorm at Friley.

 

[3TrueFans]

Sunny now, was bad for about 3 minutes but not terrible.

 

[cowgirl836]

It's really impressive, honestly. Some of the loops now are showing things like specific supercell areas. Saw a projection for a major one near Little Rock - curious to see if that pans out.

Welp.

 

[3TrueFans]

Smart call to dismiss early though, that was exactly at dismissal time.

60% of the time I pay attention every time.

My company made Friday meetings a no-no.

Exactly! Don't ruin the weekend with a Friday meeting.

 

[Gunnerclone]

There’s the warning for Appanoose. Dropped its hail and boom.

 

[Gorm]

LOL Ryan Hall: "New Tornado warning for Wa-pell-o" county.

 

[Agclone91]

Still at work, how's the report from West Ames - Do I need to plan to be calling for roof damage assessment?

 

[SayMyName]

This isn't snow piled up at my front door...

 

[Gunnerclone]

Storm S-ing out near Knoxville.

 

[Gunnerclone]

That S. IA warning is extended way out there. Keep an eye on that one.

 

[ClonerJams]

Is Des Moines in the clear, or will there be a round 2?

 

[4cy16]

The wind has really picked up in FD in the last 10-15 minutes.
