I stayed upstairs! Got dicey but went just north then just south.

Why did you stay upstairs? To hold the roof on?

Sioux Falls

@stormchaser2014 your turn

I tried going after it, had to turn around way too much rain

 

[MeowingCows]

This is a new one for me

So... does that mean it's a big bad tornado, or so weak/weakening that it isn't moving over land?

A stationary tornado out over a field doesn't seem like a big deal, but a stationary one in the middle of a town sounda even more destructive than one that blows through it in 30 seconds and is gone.

It was a large tornado indicated by radar/debris ball.

Kids were eating dinner but more importantly it was broad rotation and 1st set was just a bit north and the big one that later dropped the Marshall tornado was just a bit south. The clouds and wind here never got sus.

I've milked cows through a lot of tornado warnings my threshold is probably higher than it should be lol

Also let the record show I was watching velocity on radar and showed spouse uuuuhhhhh I think this is concerning rotation a good 3 minutes before the alert hit our phone. We were only severe warned to that point. It was still a good 8-10 miles west yet then

I’m still judging you.

Janesville got hit pretty good. We just started a house in the area that got hit, only had one wall up though.

That'll test your kayaking skills.

Fishing is shot for a while so folks might as well go get a whitewater boat.

The rain and water levels are dumb and so is the resurgence of gnats.

If I take one step into grass I'm basically fresh meat.

I promise we were good lol. Tv + radar app. No hail, no winds switching around, no creepy clouds, good view of the area it was coming from. And nothing on radar to indicate anything was coming down. Spouse also felt good. But I do recognize and recommend basements for best safety!!

Woof Rock Valley and Spencer are going to be hurting for a while. There is some real flooding going on there.

And I'm pretty sure the anchor called it "Sioux Falls, North Dakota".

That's a couple a weeks so maybe? Right now it is out of water, sewer and electric. The radio station went off air around noon because of flooding at the little shed at the base of the tower from what I was told.
