Wife's Snapchat shows a lot of damage in DSM burbs. Neighborhoods with roof plywood off/exposed trusses.

Sirens going off

Wow. What part of town was that?

I live in Johnston but only got ~5 minutes of rain. Tons of cracking thunder though.

Crosshaven development off 100th on Northside of town.

Tornado reportedly on the ground in Windsor Heights, started around 63rd and Hickman, running ESE. Spotted by law enforcement.

It started just east of the corner of 86th and Douglas in Urbandale. Lots of tree's and fences down. Couple of homes had their roofs taken to the rafters. Some tree's that didn't go down took a hair cut. Not Oklahoma City type of stuff.......but damage none the less.

The DSM Dome is beginning to crack....

That was the greenest I have seen the sky in some time.

It smells funny outside. What is the smell in Ankeny? Smells kind of like rain, but a little different.

Brimstone and sulfur, the gates of hell has opened.

 

[stormchaser2014]

Can hear the sirens in the county south of me.

The DSM Dome is beginning to crack....

There was no formal warning..............but you could tell this was different by the way the clouds were moving. Almost like looking up at a large slow moving whirlpool coming your way.

Fortunate it was weak enough at ground level or there would have been injuries.

Our house in Ankeny ended up with 0.8 inches of rain. Not as much as I was hoping for, but I'll take it. Grateful there was no storm damage.

 

[stormchaser2014]

It got dark quick.

Overall was pretty fortunate I think. Was amazed our power didn't go out. I am getting sick and tired of cleaning up branches again but if that is the worst of it this storm season I will consider myself lucky.
