About 1 mile east of Grimes walmart

 

[CYdTracked]

It was from one of the spotters, said he saw one by the Menards in Grimes.

Interesting, I live a mile west just down 44 from there and all we had was heavy rain and the wind picked up briefly but not more than a couple minutes.

SW West Des Moines got dicey for a bit but everything looks pretty minor..

Very thankful

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

Temp has dropped 7 degrees in Ames, torrential rain and high winds. Much lighter to the west/southwest. Think we lost KCCI, at least from my TV.

Big tornado on ground near CAmbridge. Debris on radar.

Yeah looks like it passed right by me in NW Ankeny, but didn't see anything. Did get really windy here as well.

Not much rain in Urbandale this storm compared to this morning, but some down draft winds were bending the neighbors trees while at the same time to the west you could see clear skies.

Really dangerous looking North of metro, thoughts and prayers!

Is this wave going to be the end of things in the metro and elsewhere?

Anyone living between Cambridge and Colo needs to take shelter NOW.

Get something over your head, even a mattress, bunch of pillows, thinking of you!

Worst of it split to the North and South.

Yep people may think he has a live link for them....nope click bait to the windmill footage.

 

[alarson]

Urbandale too.

Didn't even lose power in the derecho here so its surprising

In Nevada here, pray for me.

Looks like it's crossing 30 between Nevada and Colo. Near miss for Nevada.

 

[wxman1]

It looks like it came insanely close to @ImJustKCClone
